Book Description

The goal of this book is to explore the ways in which children learn to be healthy. The book examines children's understanding of health, from early childhood through adolescence, and how it affects their health behavior and actual physical health. The ways in which parents, other children, schools, media, and children's home and neighborhood influence children's health attitudes and behavior, and actual physical health are also scrutinized.
