I have a dcg3 who absolutely will not cover her mouth when she sneezes! EVER! I remind her every time, I show her how I would cover my mouth, I have her show me. And its just not sinking in.
Any tricks for getting someone to cover their mouth? I'm guessing she has never been told to do that at home.

Keep teaching her, eventually she will get it.

I have it in my policy that I will use a mask.

I got the monthly newsletter from our food program coordinator yesterday and they had a cool tip in there for this very problem! Put a tattoo on the spot where they should be placing their mouth when they sneeze. Kids would remember that after a few times I bet!

That's a good idea! I have school agers I have to constantly remind not to cough/sneeze in each others faces.
