Module 6: Health Check Your Child
Module 6 is designed to open up a discussion on health, hygiene and nutrition. These are often difficult topics to raise with parents but all are really important to the well being of children.
Basic health care, hygiene and nutrition are key aspects of
providing an environment that is good enough for children. Often
parents who are feeling overwhelmed have simply forgotten to ensure
that the basics are in place.
Areas of some sensitivity can then be discussed within the context
of "health checking" your kids. Issues relating to
cleanliness, overcrowding, poor nutrition and hygiene, dental
health etc are broached with sensitivity and respect. Specific goas
are set to remedy immediate health and hygene needs. The bottom
line is that all children need to have these basic needs met.
