Module H - Health and Safety

Kaboose (http://www.kidsdomain.com/safety_kids.html) is a useful website that tells children about internet Street-Smarts by providing a list of rules that kids need to follow to be safe while using the internet. This list of rules would be useful to parents to help them talk with their kids about internet safety. There are 8 rules that every child must follow while using the internet. The rules include never to give out personal information on the internet and not to download anything without a parents permission. The website also includes numerous parenting guides on subjects like the cold and flu guide that helps parents determine if their child has a cold or the flu. There is also a healthy eating guide. Kaboose provides a fruit and veggie food calculator so parents can see what fruits and veggies their children need more of on a weekly basis. More helpful guides include a potty training guide, bedwetting guide, and immunization guide. There is also an ages and stages page that provides helpful information for every stage in a child’s life. I found the information on dealing with toddler tantrums to be extremely useful. This website is good for all parents to keep on hand as a reference when it comes to their child’s health and safety.

  1. I found the sites at Kaboose very helpful too. I really liked the fact that they did web safety sites for each age group seperately. This site has a lot to offer on so many subjects that it is almost a one stop website.

  2. I'm so glad someone did a post about health and safety! Sometimes I feel like fundamentals like this are overlooked when we focus so much on teaching the subject matter.

  3. I also love this because it gets down to the basics, such as potty training, that parents forget are fundamental to all kids. I also loved the fact that the kids are learning about safety at such a young age.

  4. The flu is one of the leading causes in sickness now-a-days. I really like how your website includes a section on the flu and what steps people can take to help prevent it, besides just the flu shot itself. Very helpful website!

  5. Working in the public and in a grocery store I have seen the diversity of foods that come through my store. This website provides a one stop reference to nutrition. It provides a guide for many different age groups. Really great website.
