As children wind down from the holidays and head back to school in the New Year, consider collaborating with your children’s teachers to start 2025 with healthy habits!
1. Make healthy habits New Year resolutions together.
Whether students are at home or in the classroom, establish easy healthy habits as a New Years resolution to practice with parents and teachers. Resolutions that can easily be followed includes handwashing before or after meals, eating fruits and vegetables with every meal, and getting exercise each day! Children will have a better chance at maintaining these healthy habit resolutions when parents and teachers work together.
2. Help restock your teacher’s classroom.
Classroom supplies may have dwindled down during the first half of the school year. When you child heads back to school, consider bringing fresh classroom supplies with them including healthy habit classroom essentials like tissues, hand sanitizer, and Lysol Disinfecting Wipes to help reduce the spread of germs on surfaces in the New Year.
3. Tell your teachers about free healthy habit resources.
Back to school in the New Year is also the same time as the height of cold & flu season. Encourage your schools to continue practicing and learning about healthy habits in the classroom. As part of Lysol’s Here for Healthy Schools program, teachers can download free Minilabs Science Kits to teach students about the science of germs and better hygiene habits.
