Preschool teacher Mrs. Simonton wants to teach her children how to wash hands. Which of the following strategies is most likely to be successful?
  1. A hands-on demonstration, followed by practice at the sink
  2. A discussion at group time
  3. Ask the children to wash their hands. They’ll figure it out.
  4. Teaching hand washing is the parents’ responsibility.
Explanation
Answer: A-Offering a hands-on demonstration, followed by practice at the sink, is the best strategy for teaching children this skill. Many teachers use Boardmaker or other communication tools to make a visual reminder of the steps of hand washing. Be very clear in directions. For example, you might say, “Turn on water, 1 squirt of soap, rub hands, rinse hands, dry with 1 paper towel, towel in trash can.”
