Children’s brains are like sponges.

From your words, to your actions – they'll copy everything you do, including your screen use habits.

Try to be mindful of how often you use screens around your little ones.

Visit Best Start in Life for more guidance on healthy routines, screen-use limits, and better content choices.

For Global Handwashing Day, here’s a simple song to help make handwashing part of everyday routines.

Singing while children wash can help them remember the steps, keep going for long enough, and enjoy doing it with you.

Clean hands, fewer germs, and a little bit of singing along the way.
