Latex paint is water soluble, so just use standard soap & water. Sometimes the pigments in the paint get trapped in under the fingernails, & other cracks in the skin, so I use a hand scrubbing brush in that case. It should't be too difficult to wash off latex paint.
If you are having a lot of trouble then it's probably NOT latex paint you are dealing with.

Hot soap and water works..
But for quick clean up of stubborn paint, get some GoofOff wipes... Some say baby wipes and those hand sanatizing wipes that you get at a BBQ work well too...

Soap and water, and lots of scrubbing. I agree, it can be annoying: I had to do that a lot while helping my grandmother paint her dining room.
scrub with Brillo pads.
well tell him to quit painting with his hands and use a brush... but yea hot soapy water will take latex off just about anything but if he is having some serious trouble use some gasoline or turpintine (paint thinner, mineral spirits) anything like that
I use Lava soap to get paint off of my hands. However, anymore, I wear gloves when I paint.
