Elementary students
By Mayo Clinic staffConcerns about elementary students typically focus on school issues — such as bullying, school nutrition and sex education.
Childhood bullying and school violence can have lifelong consequences for elementary students. If your child is concerned about bullies, listen to his or her worries. Then help your child create a plan to stop bullying in its tracks.
When talk of elementary children's health turns to sex education, remember that elementary students don't need a single tell-all discussion. Follow your child's cues about what he or she needs to know — and when.
It's also important to know why elementary students get sick so often and the best ways to prevent illness in the classroom. Better yet, you can use the same tips to prevent spreading illness at home.
