Children's Health

 



Children's health, or pediatrics, focuses on the well-being of children from conception through adolescence. It is vitally concerned with all aspects of children's growth and development and with the unique opportunity that each child has to achieve their full potential as a healthy adult.

 

Children's health was once a subset of adult medicine. In the 19th and early 20th century, people recognized pediatrics as a medical specialty because of the gradual awareness that the health problems of children are different from those of adults. It was also recognized that a child's response to illness, medications, and the environment depends upon the age of the child.

 

There are many aspects to children's health. Any organization of these aspects of child health is necessarily arbitrary. For example, the topics could be presented in alphabetical order. However, it seems most logical to start with the factors that determine a child's healthy growth and development.

Since March 2020, when the pandemic shut down offices and schools across the country, many parents have worried about their children getting sick. And despite some progress, we’re still dealing with these fears more than a year later. Part of why the pandemic is still lingering is that we do not yet have vaccines for everyone. And part of it is also because of vaccine hesitancy. Children are not “little adults,” and they do have different reactions to illness, medication, and vaccinations — so it’s normal for parents to worry. Vaccinating children can help protect family members, including siblings who are not eligible for vaccination and family members who may be at increased risk of getting very sick if they are infected. Vaccination can also help keep children from getting seriously sick even if they do get COVID-19. Vaccinating children ages 5 years and older can help keep them in school and help them safely participate in sports, playdates, and other group activities. Help protect your whole family and slow the spread of COVID-19 in your community by getting yourself and your children ages 5 years and older vaccinated against COVID-19.

Reflection for the 1st Quarter

Imahe
  https://www.homeschoolacademy.com/blog/how-does-homeschooling-work-part-i/ As this challenging academic term begins, and some students are learning remotely, while others are heading back in person, we urge educators to pause and reflect on what worked — and didn’t — during remote learning last spring. While we eagerly await the moment when all schools can safely resume in person, we strongly caution against reverting back to the “normal” way of doing things.  “Normal” was not working for so many students prior to COVID-19.   While the problem here, is how to find an answer whether in the google, book or on the concept notes. We are all struggling on how to keep up with our work. Sometimes, I really don't trust my answers and just submit it. Feels like I am not here to gain knowledge, I am here to passed my studies.  Some of my friends finally had time to read for pleasure, play guitar and some simply do nothing. I haven't been able to rest since day 1 because of d...

Hero Ways, Zero Waste

Imahe
          If the last few years taught us anything, it’s that life is uncertain and could change in a single day. That said, a major issue we face as humankind, the impacts of climate change, has been with us for a while now and our ocean and marine ecosystems are under increasing pressure from unmanaged waste emissions and unsustainable resource use. So, it’s high time for every one of us to take action and add some positive changes to our lives.           Hope still floats, especially now when so many people have joined the zero-waste movement once they’re aware that our planet is our only home and we should pay more attention to it. Starting a zero-waste lifestyle may seem a bit scary and as if you have to change every single thing about your life overnight.           If experience has taught us anything, it’s that every little step counts. So let’s see what you can do right now to start enj...
