Another online resource...
I hope that everyone had a great Christmas. It was pretty laid back here at the Wachter home... we didn't have any company and didn't travel anywhere, but the kids were all home and we had a nice relaxing holiday weekend. I hope yours was enjoyable as well.
Today, we have another website to bookmark for future reference... KidsHealth.org.
The site description tells us:
KidsHealth is the largest and most-visited site on the Web providing doctor-approved health information about children from before birth through adolescence. Created by The Nemours Foundation's Center for Children's Health Media, the award-winning KidsHealth provides families with accurate, up-to-date, and jargon-free health information they can use. KidsHealth has been on the Web since 1995 — and has been accessed by about 300,000,000 visitors. On a typical weekday, more than 350,000 people access KidsHealth's reliable information.
KidsHealth has separate areas for kids, teens, and parents — each with its own design, age-appropriate content, and tone. There are literally thousands of in-depth features, articles, animations, games, and resources — all original and all developed by experts in the health of children and teens.
Physicians and other health experts review all content before it's published on KidsHealth. All content is re-reviewed on a regular basis (about every 1 to 3 years, or more frequently if needed). You can find the most recent review date and the name of the expert reviewer(s) at the end of each article. You can learn more about how we create our content by visiting our editorial policy page.
Lots of information on this site. Check it out for yourself.
