Putting Some Fun in Influenza? Good Messages for Kids, Too

OK -- FUN might be a bit of a stretch -- but I've been sent links to some videos with some great messages for helping kids understand why hygiene is important and to help parents understand how to protect their kids from flu.

Here's a run down and links to the videos, which run for only 30 seconds to 1+ minutes each:

•  DocRoc Music Video -- Dr. Mache Seible's 5 Steps to Avoid Swine Flu

•  This one is called Moon Landing (actually looks like a Halloween Costume!)

•  The Gambler is a message for parents, as regards their kids.  (Note -- be careful if you are allergic to peanuts!)

•  The least entertaining, but with an important message, Spring Lockdown makes its point, too.

It makes no difference whether you're talking about H1N1 swine flu, or seasonal flu.  Good hygiene, and keeping our children protected is paramount.  These videos may be mildly entertaining, but I hope you'll take their messages seriously.
