Keep hands clean:

Regular hand-washing dramatically reduces the passing of respiratory and gastrointestinal illness, so get your kids in the habit of scrubbing up (or using a hand sanitizer) when they leave preschool or day care, after every playdate, and before they eat.

I dislike the twitter face book bar that is always piping up. It's always smack dab in the middle of the article I am trying to read.
