Informational Site: KidsHealth

If you're looking for information you can trust about kids and teens that's free of "doctor speak," you've come to the right place. KidsHealth is the most-visited site on the Web for information about health, behavior, and development from before birth through the teen years.

One of the things that make KidsHealth special is that it's really four sites in one: with sections for parents, for kids, for teens, and for educators.

KidsHealth is more than just the facts about health. As part of The Nemours Foundation's Center for Children's Health Media, KidsHealth also provides families with perspective, advice, and comfort about a wide range of physical, emotional, and behavioral issues that affect children and teens.

KidsHealth cannot take the place of an in-person visit with a doctor, who can perform examinations and answer questions. But we can provide unbiased, reliable information to help you and your family pursue good health and wellness for a lifetime.

Website for Girls!

GirlsHealth.gov Covers Body Image, Relationships, Health and Safety

Growing girls have lots of questions—about their bodies, their feelings and relationships. But their friends may be misinformed, and they may not feel comfortable asking adults.

Introduce them to GirlsHealth.gov. It has straight talk for girls on health and body image, drugs and alcohol, relationships, safety, bullying, and more. And it’s information you can trust, grounded in science and free of ads pushing beauty products or misleading messages.
