Child and Youth Health
Kids’ Health is sponsored by the Australian health agency, Child and Youth Health, and is designed for 6 to 12 year olds. The site covers issues related to family, school, nutrition, puberty and feelings. The “Nearly Teens” section includes basic information on sexual feelings, sexual reproduction, puberty, smoking, drugs and alcohol. There are some interactive features such as games and crossword puzzles, and the site includes drawings, poems, and comments by children. I highly recommend this site for it’s ease and appropriate information.
