Website recommendation: Health For Kids
SHARE
According to the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child health, there is no reliable evidence linking time spent onscreen with obesity and depression in children. This is just as well, because this colourful and engaging website encourages children aged from four to eleven to learn more about ways to stay healthy by interacting with its many resources.
Starring a host of friendly characters, exploring topics such as dental care, health and illnesses, and with games and quizzes to try, it’s hugely approachable and beautifully presented. Just the tonic for young health-conscious minds to enjoy.
