As kids are growing, they are watching their bodies change. Knowing how the body works on the inside can go a long way in helping kids appreciate and take care of their bodies. Children should learn that our bones provide support and form to the body. They also protect the organs, such as the heart, brain, and lungs.
Children can be empowered to be educated about their own bodies by learning things like how our muscles make the bones move. They find it fascinating to learn that muscles are also responsible for your heartbeat, chewing your food, and even blinking.
Here is a fun fact about the human body to share with them: Adults have a total of 206 bones and over 600 muscles. If any of these bones or muscles do not function properly, it can have an effect on your movement, speech, or everyday life. That’s why it’s very important that kids learn how to take care of their bones and muscles.
