health in childhood

The topic of health is of great importance for children. According to the Children's Gesundheit-info have children in Germany a very good general health. Studies show that almost 96 percent of children and adolescents are healthy, according to their parents. Nevertheless, there are challenges: Around 17 percent show signs of psychological abnormalities, which shows that prevention and health promotion are essential.

The ideas of the competition lay the foundation for dealing with the topic of health in a creative way. This can not only stimulate the imagination of the children, but also sensitize them to a healthy lifestyle.

At the same time, the World Children's Maintenance Day will take place on May 6th, which is organized by Staedtler . Here children between 3 and 12 years of age are called to submit pictures on the subject of “happiness”. For each submitted picture, 1 euro flows to Plan International Germany, which underlines the importance of creativity in promoting education for children in needy regions.

The combination of art and health promotes not only creativity, but also awareness of important topics in child development. It depends!
