when they go to work. Preventing the spread of colds
and flu at school is a team effort that requires the as-
sistance of not just parents, but also teachers and stu-
dents. Still, parents might be the first line of defense
when it comes to preventing the spread of cold and flu.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, more than 38 million school days are
lost to the flu each year. Those lost days can affect stu-
dents who miss lesson plans, but also affect parents,
who often must take days off from work.

While there’s no way for parents to guarantee their
children won’t catch a cold or the flu this school year,
they can take various preventive measures to increase
kids’ chances of staying healthy and achieving perfect
attendance.

• Make sure kids are immunized and that their im-
munizations are current. Vaccinations bolster kids im-
mune systems. That’s important, as kids’ immune sys-
tems are naturally less mature than adults’, making
them more vulnerable to germs and viruses.

• Make sure kids regularly wash their hands. Kids
often catch colds by rubbing their hands that have been
exposed to cold virus germs on their noses or eyes. To
prevent that, parents can teach kids to wash to their
hands thoroughly, including scrubbing the backs of
their hands, between their fingers and around their fin-
gernails. Kids should know to wash their hands regularly.

• Keep kids home when they are sick. Parents don’t
want their children to miss school, but kids who are
suffering from colds or flu should be kept home. This
prevents the spread of colds and flu to classmates and
time to rest may help youngsters recover more quickly.

• Teach kids to avoid common germ spots. Germs
can be lurking anywhere, but some spots seem to make
more welcome homes for germs than others. Studies
have shown that kids were most likely to encounter
germs in schools on water fountain spigots and on plas-
tic cafeteria trays. Teach kids to never put their mouths
on fountains and to avoid eating any food that might fall
onto their trays in the cafeteria.

School-aged children are susceptible to colds and
flu when spending time in the classroom. But parents
can reduce their youngsters’ cold and flu risk in various
ways.

it better than football and
playing soccer keeps me in

The interest in soccer is
