"Ah-Choo! You Have a Cold!"

By Julie Follansbee January 24, 2013
So flu season is here and if you listen to the news, it has reached epidemic proportions
How do you explain to your kids how, why or where they could pick it up and how to prevent it?

I was recently given "Ah-Choo!  You Have a Cold" by Kira Freed to review and have to admit that at first I though it was a little dry and not "fun".
More like fact, fact, fact. Well....there is a time and a place for that and "Ah-Choo" is right on the money with explaining to kids the importance of good habits and hygiene and how to keep themselves healthy during this season of germs.

Kira touches on everything from "What is a Cold?" and "What is Flu?" to practicing relaxation techniques in an effort to stay well.  

I especially like this "Did You Know" fact:  "When we feel cranky, our body feels worse!  When our body is relaxed and we feel happy, our body deals with pain or feeling sick better."   So true.

Yes, it's filled with facts and pictures of germs and I think the cover says it all but it is a good resource to have on hand to help kids become empowered in taking care of their own health.
