Unfortunately here in morocco as in most of African countries children’s health is at its lowest levels in the world, many of them die from ridiculous illnesses. “Children health month” maybe it’s not celebrated here too.

It is important that children are encouraged to engage in some form of physical activity on a regular basis. Nutrition and activity levels have a key impact on children’s health and well being.

This was a great article especially about the cross-agency team put together to teach migrant families about pesticides and the impact of their use on children (and adults) with asthma. This I think is very important. I wonder if Region 9 has a similar program? Or, if not what it would take to put one together. People don’t realize, but much of California is rural to semi-rural. And a program like the one sited being done now in Texas could really benefit people here too. Best wishes, Michael E. Bailey.

It’s very important for me,as an ancient Pediatricien,today retired but ever preoccupied about the children’s health.I think than very few causes can be so many redituables as look after for this issue,not only because kids pay with a wide smile when has been recovery their wealth,so also because maybe it’s one of the more easy task when some people take over this matter and put hands in work.

I have two children in middle school. I agree that providing a healthy learning environment is essential. My kids get sick a few times a year but sometimes it seems like a revolving door. Once one child gets sick in school it spreads. It is so important to remind children to wash their hands. I know when colds and flu’s start spreading at my work, those who wash their hands more frequently seem to get sick less.

Thanks for taking the time to discuss this health issue, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me.

Children’s health is definitely of importance. Fortunately a significant proportion of their health (as well as that of adults) is within our control. And this is mainly through what we take in. One of this is what Stacy has mentioned , which is air quality. Another that i think is very important is our children’s diet.

A poor diet will build a weak body, prone to disease and syndrome no less than poor air quality. We need to teach our children to love whole food, vegetables and whole fruits. Equally important we need to make these healthy foods available and affordable. Otherwise we end up with cases like the story of this 18 yr old…

When I refilled cellular yesterday, storewoman left her kid in the saddle of her motorcycle. Sure, her kids felt from it. Most of mothers here “do not care” about their children. They don’t know how “bring up” the children.
Congratulations EPA’s Children’s Health Month. Good Luck !!!!!
