Exchange Presents not Germs this Season

: Christmas Presents

It is the season for gift giving. Everywhere you go one can see Christmas decorations and hear Christmas carols being played on the sound systems in the mall. The kids are looking forward to receiving presents and wishing that Santa would bring them their coveted Lego toys, Nerf Guns, Sophia the First doll house and other toys which would fill up the base of the Christmas tree.

It certainly is wonderful to see the the kids eyes light up when they receive what their heart desire. They have been patiently waiting all year round for this season to come with the hope that they will be able to lay their hands on the “special” item which they have wished for during the yearly gift exchange.

All around me I see billboards and posters advertising items which are on sale and suggestions on what to get your love ones this Gift Giving season. There are lots of toys fairs and Christmas fairs on at the moment at various shopping centers.

With the kids on holidays the number of people going out shopping has certainly increased and this has also increase the chance of them picking up an infection when out shopping with us. Dengue fever and influenza are still prevalent and I wouldn’t want the kids to fall ill this holidays.

: Lifebuoy Color Changing Soap

To prevent the kids from falling ill here are some steps that we take.

1. The kids are to wash their hands with antibacterial soap upon entering the house.

2. They are to take a bath and change out of their clothes before doing any other activities.

3. Their toys are sanitized /disinfected on a regular basis with a wipe down with disinfecting wipes.

4. Soft toys and bedding are run through the hot wash in the washing machine.

How do you keep germs at bay this season?

Family Bonding Over Meals

Spending time eating together is what the kids and I love to do. As we indulge in filling our stomach with the food prepared for the meal we get to relax and enjoy each other’s company.

The dining table at home is the place where we spend the majority of time together. It is a place where most family bonding occur as we share our thoughts and recount the events that happened in the day. A lot of laughter and jokes have been shared during mealtime and we catch up with what one another has been doing then.

On certain days when the kids come home early from school they help in the food preparation for dinner.

Before starting on meal preparation I make sure that he has his hands properly washed with anti bacterial soap. It only takes ten seconds and his hand is 99.9% germ free. It is important to make sure that food is handled hygienically and prepared properly to prevent any chance of having food poisoning.

Being 9 years old Monkey boy gets to help out in the food preparation and cooking of a portion of dinner. He not only learns a life skill of learning but also appreciates the effort it takes in creating a home cooked meal. Doggie boy and Tiger girl on the other hand help to set the table, clear and wash the dishes after meals.
