Why learning about health is important?
- Learning about health isn't just about medical diseases and conditions. It's also learning about the amazing ways the body works — and how to keep it working in the best way possible.
- It's about normal physical development and stages — and how they can differ from person to person. It's about the emotions and worries almost everyone faces — and how to keep things balanced.
- It's about stress that can interfere with daily life — and what to do to get some help.
- It's about thinking ahead so you can do the things you need to stay healthy — and how to prevent the things that can cause serious problems later on.
- It's about how families function in the good times — and in the bad.
- It's about the joys and challenges of parenting — and what families can do to help their kids and teens travel along the path that's best for them.
- It's about knowing you're not alone. It's about understanding yourself, your friends and family, and the world around you.
