products that should be avoided, activities that the child can perform or not, among other health related issues. The medical plan helps the child to have access to the doctor, if it becomes necessary, but it is also a way to understand what the health needs are, since normally the child performs consultations with the same doctor. This helps the school and parents to understand the reasons, for example, why an allergy has gotten stronger or has lessened, given the history of consultations.

Assessment activity 3
Promoting and implementing effective hygiene practices

1. Create a fact sheet on hygiene practices for parents. The fact sheet should contain the following: Information from the publication Staying healthy (www.nhmrc.gov.au) and directions on how to access it.

2. A suggested schedule for parents to wash their children’s toys and equipment at home
3. Create a poster that relates to children, directions for correct hand-washing (include in the poster a list of places where the poster could be placed to remind children to wash their hands) 4. Ideas on how parents can support their children to take responsibility for their own health and wellbeing
5. The fact sheets should cover the topics and be professionally presented, typed and grammatically correct.

One of the hygiene habits that must be taken into account is the cleaning of the child's
equipment and toys. This can be an activity in which the parents call to participate, showing how it is done and talking about the importance of carrying out this process. Toys that the child takes, for example, to school, must be cleaned daily. Toys that remain at home can be cleaned every two days, being an activity performed by parents and children or only those responsible for them.

Always washing your hands is undoubtedly the main point when it comes to hygiene, whether it be the hygiene of children or adults. Our hands come into contact with a large number of surfaces, which can be contaminated. By placing our noses in the mouth, nose, eyes or even eating without proper hand cleaning, we can allow disease-causing agents to enter our bodies. Various diseases can be prevented with the simple act of washing your hands, such as intestinal infections and even the flu. Therefore, we should always teach children the importance of washing hands, especially before eating and after going to the bathroom. To help, you can use posters like this:

These posters can be displayed:
