Elementary students
By Mayo Clinic staffConcerns about elementary students typically focus on school issues — such as bullying, sex education and illnesses that may keep elementary students home from school.
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 which illnesses cause the most school absences for elementary students — including how to treat and prevent these illnesses, and when it's OK to return to usual activities.
