HEALTHY FAMILY
Almost 10 years ago, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
wrote its own handwashing song
to the tune of “Happy Birthday.”
Sing it twice from beginning
to end:

Wash hands well each day
To keep germs away
Scrub your palms
Between the fingers
Wash the back
Scrub with soap and water
And be on your way
More recently, two Canadian
doctors rewrote the lyrics to
“Frère Jacques” to reflect the
World Health Organization’s
handwashing method:
Wash the back
Twirl the tips around
Scrub them upside down
Thumb attack
Thumb attack ■
That’s why Dr. Fu stresses that kids wash
their hands before eating in addition to
washing them after using the bathroom.

And then, the key to preventing illness is to
“avoid touching the eyes, nose and mouth
throughout the day, especially in the winter
when there are so many viruses and germs
going around,” she says. ■
