Health is about more than having insurance. It includes daily habits that keep your child physically, mentally and socially well, from nutrition and physical activity to handling stress and developing a strong support system.

Managing medical health includes scheduling appointments, taking medications as prescribed and reporting any new symptoms. Managing mental health also means paying attention to changes in mood, stress, sleep and appetite.
