THIS ONE SIMPLE THING CAN HELP KEEP YOUR KIDS HEALTHIER AT SCHOOL
JULY 30, 2021 – THE 2021/2022 SCHOOL YEAR IS UPON US AND IS ONE THAT WILL CERTAINLY LOOK DIFFERENT THAN MANY PREVIOUS YEARS.
With all of the new procedures in place to help keep students and teachers safe, proactive health is now on our minds more than ever before! While there has unquestionably been no shortage of frustrations that have come along with COVID over the past 18 months, if nothing else, a more mindful approach to proactive health is a small silver lining.
Schools have typically been a place where germs, viruses and bacterias are shared amongst students and teachers, acting as a superhighway of sorts for spreading sickness. As a result, we have seen many changes take place in order to try to get out infront of these exchanges. Unfortunately, many of these changes can be more damaging for the mental health of our kids than beneficial. The point here isn’t to argue over the merits of such controversial measures, but rather to focus on the simple yet meaningful daily things that we can do for our kids in order to keep them safe.
When it comes to kids in a school setting,
the exchange of germs, viruses and bacteria
often boils down to one problem: CONFUSION.
Confusion over whether a food, beverage, pencil case, lunchbox, water bottle, textbook, or any other number of things belongs to them or someone else. Water bottles and beverages, realistically, are one of the most common. We realize how important it is for our kids to stay hydrated during the day in order to focus and be productive. Yet, as a result of COVID policies and avoiding the process of hundreds of kids all touching the same thing, water fountains have been eliminated or shut down in most schools. The result is a surging importance of providing an alternate water source for the kids, whether it is the schools providing it or parents sending their kids with their own water bottles.
The thing about most kids and confusion, however, is that the confusion often doesn’t last very long; meaning, if they are unsure, they will only stay confused for a second or two before they simply make the decision to simply take a chance! Kids are funny like that. They are often much more decisive than us adults, yet the process that leads to eliminating such indecision often isn’t much of a scientific one! They simply take a chance. That is the very process that leads to passing sickness around from person to person in a school setting. Especially with beverages and food items.
So in the modern COVID era, how can we implement a small, simple change that will help eliminate confusion and keep our kids healthier? That is exactly where All-Scratch! Technology™ comes in.
The simple-to-use All-Scratch! Patch is a convenient and fun way for kids to identify their drinks, food, or other common items at school. The unique technology allows your child to scratch their name, nickname or a picture onto their patch and easily identify ownership of any item. It’s resistant to the condensation from hot or cold products and won’t rub off! Not only that, they can transfer it to multiple drinks during the day. Patches are easy to dispense and keep organized in rolls of 100, 300 or 500 so that you won’t run out and they won’t run loose in kitchen drawers.
If water bottles are provided at school, they’re likely all the same. With the Patch, you can send a couple to school with your kids so that they can apply them to their bottles and ensure they don’t grab a bottle that isn’t theirs when everyone around them is drinking from the same one.
Best of all, it’s fun to use and will organically get your kids talking about why they are using them… to help stay safe and healthy! Half the battle as a parent is trying to get our kids thinking about things like this without our help so that they can keep themselves healthy when we as parents aren’t around.
