A Healthy Home Is A Happy Home

All parents worry about the health of their children. We think all the time about whether we’re protecting them from illnesses and diseases. Of course, most of the time, it’s very difficult to completely avoid a child developing a condition like the flu. But, there are ways that you can work to at least keep your home safe and disease free. Here are a few of the best suggestions.
Hygiene High

You should always make sure that everyone in the house know’s to keep good standards of hygiene. Otherwise, you’ll be surprised how quickly bacteria spreads and diseases grow. Hand washing is definitely something that you want to encourage. Kids shouldn’t just be washing their hands when they use the bathroom. They should be encouraged to wash them when they come in, before meals and whenever they’re doing something messy. If you encourage this behavior and use positive reinforcement, you should be able to avoid too many cases of the flu in your home.
Removing Dust

Dust particles in the air can lead to breathing difficulties in children. That’s why you want to keep the house clean and completely free from small particles of dust. Children will breathe these in, and it can affect their lungs. To prevent this, you should consider getting an air purifier for your home. With an air purifier, you can ensure that the air is safe and free from any issues. To find the best one for your home, you should use a guide to air purifiers. That will help provide you with the information you need to keep your air clean and clear. Of course, that’s certainly not the only benefit of this piece of tech. It will also ensure that your home smells clean too!
Dangerous Chemicals

Sometimes, dangerous chemicals aren’t something that you can keep kids away from. Sometimes, they’re present in the water supply. There have been numerous cases where high levels of dangerous chemicals have been found in water supplies around the country. That’s why you might want to consider getting a water filter for your home. Run the water through this, and you can ensure that it is safe to drink, free from problems. You can also consider drinking bottled water, but supposedly that can be dangerous too. The plastic can contaminate the water, and it’s one of the reasons why you shouldn’t refill plastic bottles more than once.

Dieting


Last but not least, you should think about what your kids are eating at home. Certain foods like garlic have actually been shown to strengthen the immune system. Therefore, if you want to keep kids healthy and happy, you should think about ensuring that they have the right foods in their diet. Consider going organic too. Non-organic produce has a wide variety of different chemicals that may or may not have negative effects on the health. Research is still ongoing, but farmers are certainly using more chemicals today in their non organic produce.

What do you do to help keep your family healthy?

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.
