Children are more likely to be healthy if their village, their homes, and they themselves are kept clean.
Teach children to follow them- and to understand their importance.
Here the most important guidelines:
- Bathe children and change their clothes often.
-Teach children always to wash their hands when they get up in the morning,after they have a bowel movement, and before they eat or handle food.
- Make latrines or ' outhouses' and teach children to use sandals or shoes.
- Where hookworm exists,do not let children go barefoot; use sandals or shoes.
- Cut fingernails very short.
- Do not let children who are sick or have sores, scabies, lice, or ringworm sleep with other children or use the same clothing or towels.
- Do not let children put dirty things in their mouths or let dogs lick their faces.
