Age-Specific Health Education
Educational activities should be contextualized based on the specific needs of children (language, ability, gender, etc.):
- Make sure to listen to children’s concerns and answer their questions in an age-appropriate manner.
- Don’t overwhelm them with too much information.
- Encourage them to express and communicate their feelings.
- Discuss the different reactions they may experience and explain that these are normal reactions to an abnormal situation.
