Thanks for sharing that detailed article. I second that! I think with kids we need to be extra careful. Firstly they are innocent and secondly they repeat what they see and learn. I guess it becomes the responsibility of parents to set example for cleanliness in their lives so that the child might be able to understand the importance. Rest everything is well compiled in your article, it is detailed. Glad reading 🙂
