Abstract Child to-Parent (C-to P) programme was conceived by the Institute of Child Health, London —to mark the International Year of the child, 1979. The concept has grown from the recognition of. the central role of older children in caring for younger siblings. Thu, began the formulation of an approach to health education which could be used with the help of children. The purpose is to teach children in primary school (6–12 yrs. Age group), basic health and development concepts with the aim of improving their knowledge and in turn those of their parents and community. However, over the last decade, the. concept of child-to-parent communication r has evolved and broadened from sibling care to "child power". Education for health is a fundamental right of child. Health is inextricably linked to educational achievement, quality of life and economic productivity. By acquiring healthrelated knowledge, values, skills and practices, chi1dren can be empowered to pursue a healthily life and to work as an agent of change For the health of their communities. The goal can be achieved if we have the will. (WHO 1992a: 1) ‘Child-to-parcnt ’denotes an approach and methodology rather than a prograntin with a specific structure and predefined components. It introduces the possibility of health education for both school-going and out-of-school children. Its principal objective is to develop children's knowledge, attitude and behavior necessary to manage their own health, as well as the skills to help their parents and others. The distinguishing feature of the child to parent (C-to-P) approach is it's insistence, that. learning should be activity-based, so that the child could be a participant in the learning process. Top |
