Hi
my eldest Daughter has problems with germs and at the moment has a thing about constantly washing her hands as she is worried and scared about germs. He hands are now very cracked, sore and dry but she still can't stop washing them. Has anyone got some advice on this please? I've tried explaining and so have her teachers, but nothing seems to help 
How old is she? Don't make up any excuses or tell it's a bad thing to do!
Introduce her to germs in a very funny and original way, reminding that microbes are not 'the worst thing happening to you'! Some might behaves badly sometimes, causing diseases; others can relieve your pain (eg: human digestion, antibiotic, ...). Exploit your creativity, to stimulate her curiosity and deepen this topic: microorganisms make life on Earth possible! Shine a light on their importance in everyday life and scientific applications (food, energy, enzymes, water treatment, etc.).
Panic on your behalf is comprehensible even though pointless, here. I bet 'deduction' will play a fundamental game driving her fears about germs, away, once and for all! At last, who knows what this experience will bring, to both of us?
Stay safe!
