Middle School students are<br \/>\nstarting puberty and hormones are kicking in.  At this time, hygiene needs<br \/>\ncan change drastically.  Please do not assume that your child understands<br \/>\nthese changes and how to handle it.<\/p>\n<p>\nHandwashing- Clean hands and fingernails are one of the best ways to<br \/>\nprotect yourself and family from getting sick. Scrub for 20 seconds using<br \/>\nsoap and water.<\/p>\n<p>\nShowering\/Bathing- Children need daily bathing\/showering. They need to use<br \/>\na mild soap and concentrate on their face, hands, feet, underarms, groin<br \/>\nand bottom. Faces should be washed twice daily.<\/p>\n<p>\nHair Washing- The frequency of hair washing depends on your child&#8217;s type of<br \/>\nhair and activity level. Children with oily hair may need to wash their<br \/>\nhair more frequently.<\/p>\n<p>\nUnderarm care- At this age, sweat glands become more active and may cause<br \/>\nan odor and more sweat.  It is a good time to start thinking about using a<br \/>\ndeodorant\/antiperspirant.<\/p>\n<p>\nOral Hygiene- Brush teeth at least twice daily (and floss, too). This will<br \/>\nprevent tooth decay and bad breath.<\/p>\n<p>\nChanging Clothes- Have your child wear a new set of clothing daily<br \/>\n(especially socks and underwear). This is an important part of hygiene.<\/p>\n<p>\nAlways remember your child\u2019s own doctor is a great resource and you can<br \/>\naddress any further questions.<\/p>\n<p>\nReferences<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/parents\/children\/healthy_children.html\">www.cdc.gov\/parents\/children\/healthy_children.html<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/parents\/teens\/healthy_children.html\">www.cdc.gov\/parents\/teens\/healthy_children.html<\/a><br \/>\nAdditional Yearbook Staff Meeting next week Thursday, Dec. 7th, 3:15 to 4:15 in<br \/>\nMrs. Mansker&#8217;s room.
