Unless you want to be sick a lot, this one’s EASY! Just do exactly what Achey tells you NOT to do! • Wash your hands before you eat. • Wash your hands when you use the bathroom. • Keep your fingers out of your mouth. See! It’s just that EASY! Make washing hands fun with a special soap, or fun soap dispenser. For those working on thumb-sucking, try putting tape on thumbs after you talk about it nicely as a positive way to help them break the habit and to BEAT Achey – absolutely not as a punishment or by ‘force’ if the child ‘hates’ it.
