Germ Proof Your Kids: Free Family Day

Saturday, July 26, 2008

Parents are constantly bombarded with conflicting messages about germs and cleanliness. On the one hand, the news headlines warning about "superbugs." On the other hand, there is growing concern that over-cleaning and excessive hygiene may weaken children's immune systems. There is real science available to help us understand how to best protect, without overprotecting, our kids.

As part of this free family day, Dr. Harley Rotbart will speak about germ proofing your kids. Families will have opportunities to visit the infectious diseases exhibit and learn more about the germs and bacteria living around us.
