Health Curriculums
Your guide to the best approaches to teaching health as a homeschool parent!
Teaching Health as a Homeschool Parent
Teaching our children health education as a home school parent is so important because when our children learn how the body works and how to take care of it, they can start to create healthy habits at an early age.
Proper diet and nutrition, exercise, and other healthy choices are just as important as learning about math, reading, and writing.
Elementary Health Curriculums
At the elementary school level, health curriculums teach students about their body, healthy foods to eat to fuel their bodies, basic hygiene, and exercise.
Milestone’s Rod and Staff science series offers a health unit for each grade sequence. Rod and Staff is a well-respected, and Christian-based provider that offers many different home school curriculum programs in addition to elementary science and health.
