3. WHAT IS health is kool campaign?
Health is Kool campaign is based on the concept that it requires a whole
village to raise a healthy child. The socio-ecological model also recognizes
that there are multiple influences on children’s mental health and wellbeing.
The child is at the Centre of this model, and development occurs within the
context of relationships with family, school, neighborhood and other social
settings of a child’s life.
This program is based on the fact that if the child is exposed to the same
health promotion messages through several channels that have influence
in his development,and if those channels follow same practices and create
environment that support healthy choices, the child will be more likely to
adopt or maintain the healthy behaviors in his/her daily lives.

4. Core principles of Health is Kool campaign
Prevention is better than cure.
Healthy environment supports Healthy Choices.
Consistent and Repetitive Messaging across all channels/influences
is essential.
Let child be a child! Fun is the only way they learn!
Messages should be endorsed and recommended by the Medical
Community.
Components of Health is kool campaign
All the components of health is kool campaign are based on the core
principles. This campaign for play schools covers a broad gamut of health
related modules, from very comprehensive preventive health checkups, to
health talks for parents, to health activities for kids. And we do it all in a
manner that's fun and educative for children, yet professional and
supportive for parents.
5. Preventive Health
The guiding core principle for Preventive health componentis prevention is
better than cure.
We strongly advocate the importance of well child check up. The well-child
care visit is an opportunity to raise general questions & concerns about
your child’s development, behavior and general well-being. Many parents
also use this well-child visit as a time for scheduled vaccinations and to see
how much their child has grown since the last check-up. Parents should
discuss all common concerns with pediatrician such as eating, sleeping,
toilet, training and social behaviors, as well as attention and learning
difficulties. This type of visit differs from a “sick visit” in which you might
take your child to the doctor for a specific problem like an allergic reaction,
an ear infection or breathing trouble.
How do we do implement it?

6. Health Education
It requires a village to raise a healthy child! In modern scenario, village
consists of all the influences in child’s life which impacts his/her growth and
development. The family is the main context for children’s development,as
it provides the most strong and enduring influences on child’s short and
long term growth and wellbeing. Schools,including peers,are another
important environment that children experience,which can have a major
impact on learning & development.
Health is kool campaign works closely with all the village components of
child’s life so that he/she receives the consistentmessagesfrom all the
channels regarding healthy choices.

7. Provide forum for principal and teacher to disseminate their
knowledge.

PLAY WAY IS THE ONLY WAY WE LEARN
Health is kool campaign acknowledges the fact that children are the most
important and active participants in their own development.We believe that
just like alphabet, numbers-healthy habits also should be introduced in a
play way manner.
We have created a group of good and bad monsters and we deliver health
messages through them. In addition to that, healthskool ambassador visits
and conducts fun health activities for the children in school periodically.
