Teacher Teaches Kids How To Wipe Using Balloons

Oct 24, 2019 by apost team

Most people realize that we often put too much pressure on teachers to take a hand in “raising” the children in their care when truly their job is to educate those children. Most parents realize that the raising portion of teaching children should really be done at home.

However, most people also see that many teachers are, unfortunately, but thankfully, stepping in to help fill in certain gaps because parents are simply not present to do it at home.

While the raising portion of teaching typically comes down to things like manners, tidiness, and other basics of growing up, many people don’t think about hygiene factors that come with the learning process as a child. Teachers in the United States typically do not teach hygiene elements in the schools.

However, in other areas of the world hygiene is taught to young children in schools, and it is taught in a really creative and surprising way!

A video posted on twitter recently went viral of a teacher, who is not named in the video, that shows a teacher show her preschool class how to wipe after going to the bathroom.

The school is thought to be outside of the United States. The teacher creatively uses two balloons as part of her demonstration on how to properly wipe. The teacher is sitting at the front of the class on a stool, with two balloons on the back of her chair. Each tiny child also had two “balloon butts” attached to the back of their chair. She is teaching them how to wipe without getting it on their hands as well as the paper folding technique.

What is so interesting about this video isn’t just the fact that the little children are fixated and enthralled with what their teacher is teaching them about personal hygiene, it is the fact that this awesome teacher is taking the time to do this at all.

People all across America that saw this viral video are praising this teacher for her efforts and creativity in teaching her students how to properly wipe after going to the bathroom. 

How ingenious is this teacher for thinking to use balloons? What better to hold a child’s attention than brightly-colored balloons? Do you think hygiene demonstrations like this should be taught in schools in the United States more often? Pass this video along to anyone else’s opinion you’d like to get on teaching hygiene in the schools and preschools.
