Johnny is fun loving little boy in the first grade. He attends Neighborhood Elementary School in Your Independent School District. Johnny is of average intellect for his age group. He enjoys playing group games whether sports or board games.
He loves to share his toys and school supplies with his friends. He often offers a sip of his drink or bite of his food to his friends and siblings during mealtimes. He is well liked by his friends and teachers. Johnny’s sharing nature is refreshing to see in a child so young. One can’t help to wonder what else he may be sharing with his friends and siblings.
This week Johnny was absent from school twice because of the flu. Johnny had a fever of 102.3 degrees, his body ached, he was vomiting and he felt weak. He went to the doctor where upon diagnosis of the flu he was given medication and also gave him some reading materials (pamphlets) on how to minimize his chances of coming in to contact with germs and viruses that may make him sick. The pamphlets gave all sorts of good advice about how to avoid germs, what foods are healthy, and how important getting exercise and rest is to staying healthy.
Johnny learned that is fine to share thing with his friends and sibling but you could do this without sharing germs. He learned that washing your hand and covering your cough and or sneeze was a good way preventing the spread of germs that cause illness. Johnny also learned that staying away from fatty foods and sugary items along with getting regular exercise and rest would also help in staying healthy.
Johnny still loves to share with his friends and family the things he enjoys, but now he does it wisely, thanks to getting educated on healthy practices.
