At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
It is celebrated in the United States to show support to the health of the kids, their families, and families who work hard to keep them healthy, mentally and physically.
It is celebrated by the people of the United States.
Child Health Day first started on May 1, 1928, but then in 1960, the day was changed to the first Monday in October.
President Coolidge was the one who proclaimed Child Health Day in the United States.
Children are the future of a country, so taking care of them is important. This day is made for the children’s health and their parents who work hard for the care of their children.
This day is all about giving, as children are the country’s future and they need to be fit mentally and physically to run a country and society. So on this day, make your kids aware of their health, help them run and exercise and donate for those who cannot afford this care and good food.
You can organize a run and can ask the kids to come and run with you as running is a great way of staying fit, you can announce a prize at the end that will bring more and more kids.
Child Health Day is all about the maintenance of the children’s health by their families and the government, as they will determine the future of the country.
We celebrate it by going for a run with our kids or little siblings along with helping them exercise and be fit.
There is no such mention of who started this day but it was proclaimed by President Calvin Coolidge.
It is on the first Monday of October, every year.
It signifies that the health of kids is important to care for as there was no care for their health in the early 19th century. It is important to make sure that they stay fit as they are the future of the country.
People celebrate Child Health Day to celebrate the importance of maintaining a kids health by making them exercise and eat right, that will also help in the growing and their brain to nurture them.
In the early 1900s, there were no facilities for kids, but then-President Calvin Coolidge understood the need for Child Health Day and proclaimed that day.
People of the United States celebrate Child Health Day.
