Almost each one of us faces different health related problems. We held the stressful life style responsible for these problems but all these can easily be avoided if health education can be provided to the children at a very early stage. Properly researched health education programs should be a must for the children at school and these programs are capable of changing the habits and attitude of a child and the ultimate gain will be a healthy society. Whatever is taught to a child at school has a great impact and the child generally discusses this with the parents and other family members so the parents are getting educated too.
Childhood health problems
In the childhood, many physical defects develop such as problems related to sight, hearing, postures, eating habits, nutrition and others. All these problems can be easily identified at a very early stage and can be eliminated completely if proper heath education can be provided to the children. Taking medicines does not mean keeping healthy. Understanding that health is important and following certain habits regularly is also important. Health education for children can teach them about proper food choice, cleanliness, exercise, rest and how to take prevention against the diseases.
Health Education in school
A child can be made to understand the importance of health very easily as a child is like a lump of clay which can be molded in any shape. Proper health education not only helps in physical development but is responsible for the strong behavioral and mental health of a child. Doctors can advice only those children or parents who visit them regularly but health education in schools can approach a large number of students at one point of time and teachers must be actively involved in health programs in schools.
