THIS IS 5 PAGES ASSIGNMENT AND MUST ASSIGNED TO Dr Vidhya Bhushan Mishra
Select an individual in your community. This assignment requires you to observe this person and ask questions, observe, and assess his or her school environment, either in his or her personal past or current school environment.
Families are said to be the primary education source for individuals early in life.
Health choices and behaviors regarding health are usually reflections of the culture, values, and beliefs of the family. Once children start school and are exposed to society, lifestyle choices may be altered by the addition of new environmental influences.
Adults often continue the eating habits that they developed as children. Although parents are the primary teachers of children, once children start attending school, they are influenced by other adults and their peers.
There have been concerns about the lack of nutritional standards in schools, the increased incidence of childhood obesity, the reduction in physical activity in the schools, and violence in the schools.
The effects of these factors can be seen in those children as they enter adulthood. From nurses, it is essential that there is recognition and interventions for health promotion and disease prevention in schools and for school-age children to reduce the effects on them as they grow to adulthood.
