Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I would really like something to discuss Health and Hygiene to my two oldest boys (12 and 11). They get irritated with me "nagging them", but I still have to make sure they are doing certain things--like washing with soap!

Does anyone have a program or book that they would suggest?

Thanks!

Beth

Why not do some comparison shopping (different soaps and scrubs) and compare ingredients, and then have the boys wash. After the proscribed scrubbing, take swabs of the boys hands and try to grow what's left on petri dishes and agar, in a warm place. I bet they'll start washing with the soap with best results.

More info and supplies here.
