We are all aware of the recent, constant reminders to wash our hands often and use hand sanitizers as a back-up but did you know there is an actual movement afoot to end hand shaking?

About Jill Addeo and KidKupz
KidKupz™ takes the ick out of sick™! The inspired creation of a mother-grandmother team, KidKupz™ provides parents with a safe and easy way of administering liquid medicines – and simultaneously offers children a treat that makes taking medicine enjoyable! This truly unique product was inspired by company president and co-founder Jill Addeo's late stepfather, who was a volunteer on the pediatric floor at a major New York hospital. His work there exposed him to the difficulties children face when taking necessary medication. He spoke often of wishing that he could find a way to make the process easier. In 2006, Jill and her mother, Jo-Ann devised an ingenious way to make his dream a reality: KidKupz™.

Hooray for Handwashing!
Posted July 14th, 2009 by Jill Addeo | No Comments »Once your child is already in need of some kind of medication, KidKupz are sure to soften the blow, but if you can possibly prevent the occasional cold or flu…good news for the whole family.
Soap and water are one of the most effective ways to ward off colds and other illnesses. I realize this isn’t news to any of you, but I know that with my own children, no amount of reminding is too much. It’s important to wash your hands before preparing food or eating, before cleaning an injury or applying a band-aid, after handling pets or garbage, after using the bathroom or changing diapers, and after coughing or blowing your nose. Despite the prevalence of hand sanitizers, old-fashioned soap and warm water are still the best choice. If you need a fun, interactive way to keep your child scrubbing, sing a favorite song or have them learn about hand washing from Henry the Hand, Champion Handwasher, at www.henrythehand.com.
