Being Firm, Christian Sugiono's Way to Teach His Children Proper Handwashing Since Early Ages

Kapanlagi.com - Being parents, Titi Kamal and Christian Sugiono divide the responsibility of taking care of their two sons, Arjuna and Kai. The unity of Titi and Tian is shown, among other things, when they try to instill the proper handwashing habit in their two children.

"As parents, we need to figure out how to motivate our children to wash their hands. Usually, the four of us wash our hands together, sometimes the sink gets crowded but it's more enjoyable to do it together," as quoted from Liputan6.com.

1. Being Firm

Regarding this matter, Tian even admitted that he can act firmly in order to make his children truly practice good hand washing habits.

"So I am being firmer, if it's always taken lightly, the children will think it's just a game. There has to be someone who is firmer, and I take on that role. Usually we don't get angry at them, we just speak firmly," said Tian.

2. Parents Set an Example

Teaching children to have good hand washing habits from an early age can be important. And it is better for parents to set an example so that children can learn from what they see.

"Children are taught to wash their hands from an early age, they have been shown the proper way to wash their hands since they were one year old. The most important thing is that we as parents should be an example, not just giving orders," explained Christian Sugiono.

3. Maintaining Cleanliness

Maintaining cleanliness is something important to implement, especially in the current pandemic situation. Like #PesanIbu (Mother's Message) that always reminds us to regularly wash hands with soap, wear masks, and avoid crowds.

Besides benefiting ourselves, by implementing health protocols, KLovers (Korean Lovers) also protect people around us from exposure to Covid-19. So, let's remind each other.
