Your kids & their health
I don’t know of one person who isn’t concerned about their child’s health. Whether you keep track of how they eat, monitor an ongoing condition or are simply trying to keep them healthy and safe; we’re all concerned about their health.
When I come across some information that may be able to help with that I always want to share it. There’s a site, KidsHealth.org, which offers a multitude of information for parents, children and teens. It’s comprehensive for the parents, fun for the kids as well as interactive and interesting for the teens. I even sent a link to my teen who is away at college.
Excerpted from the site:
“KidsHealth is more than just the facts about health. As part of The Nemours Foundation’s Center for Children’s Health Media, KidsHealth also provides families with perspective, advice, and comfort about a wide range of physical, emotional, and behavioral issues that affect children and teens.
To do this, our editorial staff communicates complex medical information in language that readers can understand and use. And all KidsHealth articles, animations, games, and other content go through a rigorous medical review by pediatricians and other medical experts. Ongoing, scheduled medical reviews ensure the information is as up-to-date as possible.”
Keeping our children healthy and safe is a full-time responsibility and we need as many resources as we can to assist with that. Share the site with your young children and your teens; I think it’ll be something that is good for the entire family.
