the vitality to enjoy life and determines by
life choices (Sorte, J., Daeschel, I., &

6. Five Teachers Points in
Developmentally Appropriate
• Common D.A.P.’s include but are not limited to:
• 1) Strategies in familiar activities such as singing together, story reading,
and dramatic play
• 2) At the universal level, all children should receive sufficient density of
positive feedback from their caregivers(as cited in Program Practices
for Promoting the Social Development of Young Children and
Addressing Challenging Behavior )
• 3) At the secondary level, a social skills curriculum should be adopted and
implemented.(as cited in Program Practices for Promoting the Social
Development of Young Children and Addressing Challenging Behavior )
• 4) At the tertiary (or intervention) level, assessment-based interventions
that are developed through the process of Positive Behavior Support
(PBS) have been shown to be effective as cited in Program Practices for
Promoting the Social Development of Young Children and Addressing
Challenging Behavior )
• 5) Offering individual activities, such as having children to keep a dairy of all of the
foods they have eaten for the day.
7. Effective Teachers Strategies
1)Practice proper hand washing
2)Sanitize toys
3) Clean the classroom daily

8. Classroom Practices in Washing Hands
in Developmentally Appropriate
In developmentally appropriate children are capable of
washing their hands effectively when the support are available
to them. It is important for teachers and students to remember hand
washing is the single most important way to reduce the spread of
diseases and unwashed or improperly washed hands with hygiene
measures are the primary source and significantly for the spread of
diseases and reducing spreading diseases.
The equipment and supplies that can be used would include
providing a child-size sink and step stool so the children can
reach the water. Running warm water is need to encourage
scrubbing and to remove soil and germs. Liquid soap should
provide it is easier for children to use. Disposable towels are
recommended to avoid the spread of germs.

10. Information For Teachers in Washing
Hands
Kids don't always listen when teachers and parents tell them to wash their hands
before eating, after using the bathroom, or when they come inside from playing.
But it's a message worth repeating — hand washing is by far the best way to
prevent germs from spreading and to keep kids from getting sick.
First Line of Defense Against Germs
• Germs can spread many ways, including:
• touching dirty hands
• changing dirty diapers
• through contaminated water and food
• through droplets in the air released during a cough or sneeze
• on contaminated surfaces
• through contact with a sick person's body fluids
When kids come into contact with germs, they can unknowingly become infected
simply by touching their eyes, nose, or mouth. And once they're infected, it's usually
just a matter of time before the whole family comes down with the same illness.
11. Engaging Ways To Teaching in Washing Hands
• Assess the children's knowledge of proper hand washing technique and the basics of when and how often hand washing
is indicated.
• Present a developmentally appropriate hand washing lesson to teach proper hand washing technique using resources
obtained from www.henrythehand.com.
• Demonstrate the effectiveness of thorough hand washing using the Glogerm and blacklight.
• Have the children return demonstrate the hand washing technique that they have learned.
• Reassess to ensure that learning has taken place and children are able to verbalize and return demonstrate the
technique that they have learned.
One techique that can be used in explaining and teaching children in washing hands is
•
Teach new hand washing song to the children:
– If you’re happy and you know it, scrub your hands.
– If you’re happy and you know it, scrub your hands.
– If you’re happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it.
– If you’re happy and you know it, scrub your hands.
– If you’re happy and you know it, rinse them off.
– If you’re happy and you know it, rinse them off.
– If you’re happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it.
– If you’re happy and you know it, rinse them off.

12. Teaching How To Wash Hands
Washing hands are important actions in preventing the
spread of diseases. Young children touch and share many objects
throughout the day and placing their hands, fingers and toys close to
their mouth and noses. Here the proper steps in washing hands
1) Wet Hands
2) Soap about 20 seconds
3). Scrub backs of hands, wrists, between fingers, under fingernails.
4). Rinse hand well from soap
5). Use disposable towels and throw them away in the proper trash cans.
6) Turn off taps with towels
13. Conclusion
In developmentally appropriate practices is to help
young children to especially vulnerable on spreading
diseases in the classroom or at home teachers needs to
practice in immunization, hand washing, and daily
health checks to help control infections and diseases.
Involving teachers in sanitization practices are
important strategies to protect children from blood
bourne and diseases spreading. It also very important

healthful skills that they can use in the future.
