Healthy Child Programme: An e-Learning Resource for Practitioners who work with Children
“Healthy child” is a term that refers to a child who is physically, mentally and socially healthy. This means that the child is not only free from illness or disease, but is also developing well in terms of their cognitive, emotional and social skills.
