Parenting: The Challenge

There is some research that shows that using too many germicides or disinfectants can actually be detrimental to your children and family. Removing all germs, means your children do not have the opportunity to develop an immunity. Some research suggests that the rise of asthma can be attributed to cleaning with germicides. It can be difficult these days to find regular hand soap that is not anti-bacterial, so you might consider organic soaps and cleansers that do not have these chemicals.
