Hi Colleen, you are so right, I am constantly taking my daycare kids in the bathroom washing their hands because like you said they have their hands in their pants, and that is one of my pet peeves, Kids and get sick and die from ecoali if another childs feeses get in their systums. ( sorry forthe missed spelled words) a child died after injesting some feeses at a water park because a child diareha in the water from swallowing to much clorine from the water. My friends used to look and me as rasing my kids to be selfish, because I didn't push the share your toys issue for the resons were talking about, I was one of those moms who washed toys in bleech water, used lysol dissinfect on everything, I do that now in my daycare, these kids kniw I better not see them with their hands in their pants, it is nasty, hygieneis very important, that's why to i made sure my kids were potty trained before they were two, I made sure they learned how to clean themselves, and I would go behind them sometimes, and then I always had antibacterial soap handy for their hands. So trust me you are right, now we don't need to be paranoid, we just need to taech our kids good hygene while they are small. J.
