Web Resource Review 1 - Kids Health


Kids Health mainly covers the nutrition, growth and development of children and teenagers. This website not only caters to the kids, but also to the teenagers as well as parents.
For the parents, it basically provides a source whereby they can seek practical parenting information on how to deal with their child’s issues. They not only discuss about children’s health but also include topics that help them to understand their child’s or teen’s behaviour, feelings and emotions. It also addresses issues that are commonly related to children or teens such as Binge Eating Disorder, Temper Tantrums, Helping Kids Cope with Cliques and more. I felt that this website is a useful and simple guide for parents to follow on how to handle and provide support to their children.  





Besides having a site for the parent, they also created a site for the children and teenagers. As we know that sometimes children and teenagers are shy to discuss about the issues or troubles that they are experiencing, such as about their growing body, sexual health or even about social acceptance. Thus, they can use this website as a tool to find out information without having to feel uneasy or uncomfortable.

I noticed that the site for kids have a tool that is called Kid’s Dictionary of Medical Words. This tool facilitates them in understanding the terminologies that are usually difficult to comprehend.
