Children ask all kinds of questions about their body that
caregivers and parents have a hard time answering. Things like, “Why do I have
to brush my teeth?” “What is a birthmark?” “What is a belly button?” These are
just a sample of the questions that Kid’s Health.org website can answer. http://www.kidshealth.org
It evens answers some of the rare questions like “Why do I
blow wind” and “What’s a wart?”
This interactive website includes articles on some of the most common
and bizarre questions children come up with, as well as games, quizzes, videos
and puzzles to entertain them while doing research about how the body works.
Older children should have no trouble navigating this
colorful, kid-friendly site. Maybe pick a subject weekly and have the children
do research. Log onto this site and click on the For Kids section.
There are a variety of tabs on the left for different health subjects.
Caregivers will need to start discussions with younger
children and this is a marvelous site to obtain all the information you need to
answer questions about the body.
Click on the For
Parents section to find instruction sheets for First Aid and Safety. Think
about printing out these pages and start your own “first aid” resource book.
Overall, this is a “super” site to visit.
Moving right along to the next letter. Tomorrow is the letter I,
