While facilitating health lessons for King Middle students I had to learn to adapt to changes in the timetable or variation in participation levels while still getting through all the content in the allotted time. This taught me to think on my feet and remain calm when things didn’t go exactly according to plan.

Children as young as two years old can benefit from the basics of health knowledge, but through my community teaching experience at King Middle School, I see clearly now that middle childhood is the developmental period where children may benefit the most from health education as this is the stage of life where we start to gain more independence and responsibility.
