WHY GOOD HEALTH FOR THE CHILD IS EVERYBODY’S JOB

Thanks for your visit. You are great!

Let us here discuss the reasons 

WHY GOOD HEALTH FOR THE CHILD IS EVERYBODY’S JOB

The child is the future of any family as the family is the integral make up of any nation so one can conclude that a child is the future of a nation. It also means a healthy child is a healthy nation. The emphasis is on the individual child so as to stamp the importance of taking good care of every child in the society and to let all realize that GOOD HEALTH FOR THE CHILD is everybody's job.

That statement is very important as when the child is ill the family cannot be itself until the child is back to normal state of health. Moreover a sick child may be a source of a transmissible ailment to other children in the larger society, for example a single child with poliomyelitis is a risk not only to other children around him but to all children in the world, that is exactly the story concerning poliomyelitis right now.

Countries where this disease is still found the usual scenario is that a small number of children in probably a   small community do default immunization for certain reasons, like fear of is being done, lack of trust in the immunization process, lack of proper education or ignorance, distance and nature of the terrain of their address, religious believes, fear of complications, etc when this happens non immunized children fall to the disease and become agent of the disease communication to others within and outside that community and potentially   the whole world.

Now countries where all efforts and hard earned money has been spent to eradicate such disease are now remotely/theoretically at risk of the same transmissible infection that had hitherto been eliminated. What this means is that all hand must be on deck to make sure that efforts that were already invested are not wasted in the long run.

For a healthy future all must make every effort for a healthy child today because if neglected the child may be a risk to the other children around,  other children in the nation and other children in the world, this is WHY GOOD HEALTH FOR THE CHILD IS EVERYBODY'S JOB.

Let us all do what will make the children healthy.

How to Prevent a Child Being Killed While Reversing the Car

Thank you for your interest in this small article, it is great to have you here today, I appreciate your time.

Why is this topic "How to Prevent a Child Being Killed While Reversing the Car" important?
Many injuries children sustain are always non intended, even though there are a few exceptions, children are very lovely and they are caring too.
They like to be with their love ones at any time and everywhere, what they love most is to follow you out, or at least to get along with you to some distance as you go.

Several times adults will make every effort to see that the child did not see them go because if he does and not allowed to follow, the whole household may lose its peace until the child stops yelling. The one that gets its way might be following from afar without one knowing it. That is where the problem lies.

As a follow up to my post of yesterday on "4 Things That Prevent Child Domestic Injuries" one should always put it in mind that a child is fast and many times unpredictable.

So 

How to Prevent a Child Being Killed While Reversing the Car

1. Remember the child may just be coming along without your knowing, so he might just be behind the car when you are already in the car a reverse may injure or kill him.

2. He might just be by the door, and depending on his height you might also not know he is just there.

3. The above points are very critical, to making up plans to Prevent a Child Being Killed While Reversing the Car. Once these are taken into consideration, then action must be taken

4. Actions that can be taken to Prevent a Child Being Killed While Reversing the Car include

      a. Ensure every child is in your view until you make a forward movement that is also save for them.

      b. Make another adult hold the child away from the car

      c. Lock up the house when you are sure everyone as you leave the house so that he does not come out and follow you unknown to you.

      d. Go round the car and ensure the child is not nearby, if you find him then sort him out before you fall behind the wheel.

      e. It might be a last option to go out with the child, or make him seat in the car finish reversing the car, get an adult or older person to take him away.

4 Things That Prevent Child Domestic Injuries

Welcome to YesChildHealth.blogspot.com

How do you feel when you come across a child with preventable disability?

Many children have suffered preventable injuries, some of which they recover from, but the majority have sustained permanent injuries which they grew up with, many of such injuries are unfortunately disabling.

Today in YesChildHealth.blogspot.com, let us talk about how to prevent domestic injuries.
These 4 Things That Prevent Child Domestic Injuries works all the time for me with my children or with any child around me.

The old saying still old true "prevention is better than cure." No matter what it costs, prevention is cheaper than a cure.
 Let us all share ways to prevent children from injuries here at YesChildHealth.blogspot.com, feel free to share your own experience.

Background: We must remember that children are very fast to move, very quick to act, inquisitive, strong and very innocent, so we should protect.

4 Things That Prevent Child Domestic Injuries

1. Take Away all Dangerous Items
 The first thing I will like to share among the 4 Things That Prevent Child Domestic Injuries is that one should always assume that a child can get to that dangerous thing before one realizes. A child may be faster than "time", that is faster than the time you assume he may not get there, the child may just be there already. Sometimes he may be sneaky to satisfy his curiosity and so gets there when you were distracted by other "important things"

2. Hold The Child at the Wrist. When one is at a place that can be adjudged to be dangerous "Hold The Child at the Wrist tight". He may shout, cry to be freed, do not let go of him. He may be faster than the time assumed he could not get there, this is applicable also when one is by the road, by a pit, by the ocean, at a beach etc. Do not say am around I will get him before he gets there, Prevent the unwanted.

3. Never Store Dangerous Liquid in Bottles for Drinks. This is particularly true when the child is familiar with the container. Here at YesChildHealth.blogspot.com, we say the child might not know the content is a poison, please do not practice it. What I do is never keep dangerous liquid at home.

4. Never Keep Electrified object "naked" Non Insulated. The last point  among the 4 Things That Prevent Child Domestic Injuries is to keep electrified object insulated. Children like to hold cord a lot of time because their hands can easily go round it, the cords are usually light weighted so he can fling it at will. Access to dangerously exposed electrical cord may be access to dangerous injuries.

Let us share prevention practice around the world. Many children have died unnecessary death.

Welcome To My blog

THANK YOU for stopping by today as we work to see that children of the world are given the best chance to life.

WHAT IS CHILD HEALTH?
Child Health is the state of total health for a child. It is very important to know that a child is not just the physical we see there is more to a life than what we see per time. He has many things that make him up; physical, mental spiritual, social.

How did World Health Organization define HEALTH?
"HEALTH is the state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not the mere absence of disease or infirmity."
CHILD HEALTH is the state of complete physical, mental, spiritual and social well-being in a child and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity in the child. A child can be said to be healthy only when he is physically, mentally, spiritually and socially healthy.
