The Preschool Child: Health Concepts by David H. Weintraub - 1972Health concerns relative to the preschool and early school age
child understandably have different meanings to each individual
involved. Parental concerns often differ from those of the physician;
the physician's concerns, in turn, may differ from those of
the teacher and community, and yet all have similarities and overlap.
Furthermore, the communicating of facts of health among all
participants is far from ideal and often suffers from misunderstanding,
misstatement, unnecessarily long delays, over-concern, under-concern,
and even failure to communicate at all. In addition, over-attachment
to traditional methods of obtaining and administering
health surveillance and care to children may contribute to delay in
the emergence of innovative and experimental programs in this
field.To view the full-text for this article you must be signed-in with the appropriate membership. Please review your options below: This article originally appeared as NSSE Yearbook Vol 71, No. 2. |
