How to Keep Your Child Healthy this

Flu Season By Chris Salis

With flu season in full swing

and allergy season right

around the corner, keeping

your kids from getting sick

can be a full time job.

Take a look at this list of

tips to keep your kids

healthy this time of year!

Washing Hands

Regular hand washing is a

great way to limit exposure to

germs and the flu virus. Have

your kids sing "Happy Birthday"

twice while scrubbing!

Stay Active

Not only does physical

activity help your kids to

develop their muscles

and bodies, but it can

also help to reduce their

risk of cold and flu!

Get Rested

Kids need plenty

of rest in order for

their immune

systems to keep

the cold and flu at

bay.

Preschoolers

should get 10-13

hours of sleep

each night, and

school-age kids

should get 9-11

hours.

Eat a Balanced Diet

It might be a bit of a challenge, but getting your kids to eat a balanced diet--especially leafy

greens as well as foods high in Vitamin A and Vitamin D--will really help to keep them healthy!
