Myth: You can dodge every germ your child brings home once school starts.
Fact: Germs are everywhere, and some exposure actually helps build a stronger immune system over time.
But there’s plenty you can do to lower the risk of frequent sick days:
✅ Teach proper hand-washing (soap + 20 seconds)
✅ Keep backpacks and lunch boxes clean
✅ Prioritize good sleep and balanced meals
✅ Remind kids to cover coughs and sneezes
Even healthy habits can’t prevent every sniffle, but they go a long way in keeping your family healthier through the school year.
