This site is for parents to help their child learn and practice good
hygiene. This is a good resource because it allows parents to have access of information for all
age levels and addressing important topics regarding hygiene. It talks about how to help your
child build personal hygiene habits and answers a lot of important questions that pre-teens and
teens might have that might be hard to answer without the help of this site. The website gives
great personal tips on how to help your child and how to address these personal topics. This site
is very family friendly so if your child feels more comfortable reading it themselves, they’re able
to. There are also other great health topics on this site if the child wants to know more or if the
parent wants to be more informed on other topics related to health.
This would be good to have included in a newsletter home to parents for their pre-teens including some instructions on navigating the website and some general information about hygiene and its importance.
