Answered by Ms. Sue
How would you like us to help you with this assignment?

Answered by Devin
I have my powerpoint presentation all set up. I am just having a hard time with health issues that are appropriate to each developmental issue. The assignment wasn't clear as to what kind of health issues and I don't know how these issues would differ between the two stages. If I could just get some suggestions on health issues appropriate to early childhood and middle childhood that would help a lot. I also need to come up with a program I believe would help raise child awareness of the importance of healthy life choices and effects of poor health choices that can be implemented in the classroom. And how inherited or environmental factors might change the normal course of child development.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Some of the things you might consider:

Eating healthy foods
Washing hands frequently
Getting plenty of exercise
Drinking lots of water
Getting enough sleep
Being careful when crossing streets

Thank you so much for the suggestions.

You're very welcome.

Do you know of any health issues that may be different between early and middle childhood? They actually have to be put on two different slides.
