CHILD CARE PROVIDERS: BLEACH IN YOUR SCHOOL
Last week The Early Development of Global Education (EDGE) announced its newest development with The Department of Children and Families and their recognition of our report on the harmful affects of BLEACH and the use of harmful disinfectants in schools.
What Administrative Code did this have to do with?
The use of sanitizers and disinfectants in schools is associated with Florida Administrative Code 65C22-002.

Yes, you can. The Administrative Code does not mandate the use of bleach. This is a misconception that bleach is mandatory. It only suggests the solution ratio of bleach and water. Inspectors are misinformed and are requiring the use of bleach because they are not clear about the code or about the dangerous affects of bleach.

So if mommy is angry at everyone because she had a bad day at work and takes the anger out on her child by screaming or looking unhappy little Timmy will take in that stress and exhibit it in other ways.
Children deal with stress much differently than adults do. Their reactions are much more concrete than adults. Stress is exhibited by little Timmy saying ” my tummy hurts” or “I have a headache.” Whereas an adults symptoms are much more subjective, “I feel stressed out!” So what are good ways to… Read the rest
