[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]- No daycare.

- No public transportation if we can afford it (like school bus).

- Everyone is vaccinated against flu. Kids up to date with vaccination.

- Stay home and rest if falling sick.  No medicating with Tylenol and then sending sick kids to school.

- Mask when outside in public spaces that you don't care about (like Costco or grocery store)

- Hand washing, hand sanitizer,  no shoes inside home, good personal hygiene, clean home.

- No pets and no smoking household.

- Make sure that you let people know that they cannot come to your house if they are sick - be it cleaners or other kids or relatives.

- Change clothes once you come home.

- Change your home filters regularly, keep a dust free home,  have a UV light installed in your HVAC system.

- Eat and drink - healthy, nutritious and fresh food.  Go organic.  No cold drinks.

- Keep their heads warm.  Dress appropriately for the weather. Make them have warm drinks.

- Make them rinse their mouth with warm salty water after every meal.  Good oral hygine.  Gargle with salt water if they are old enough to gargle - twice a day when they brush their mouth.

- Nourish their gut bacteria - lots of fresh produce and yogurt.

+1 We do this too! Except we have pets. Might help with preventing allergies who knows? We alos spend a lot of times outdoors digging in the dirt and have a bunch of indoor plants[/quote]

Bubbleboys.

We never used daycare and  we’ve had no real illnesses.  Neither have needed antibiotics or any other medications.  I’ve never worried about germs.  Unless you have a compromised immunity children’s bodies can handle germs.   As for runny noses or basic coughs without any underlying reason for them they are just normal responses to get stuff out of your nose or throat or whatever.   [/quote]
