Reply to: Is Further Research on the Newest Vital Sign in Children Necessary?

Abstract

I certainly agree with Dr. Allen and Ms. Auld that health education for children is important. Indeed, in the past I have made presentations about health topics at my children's schools, and I am always telling my grandchildren about health issues that they should be aware of. I have probably explained health concepts to hundreds (possibly thousands) of children who were my patients. Our overall health and education systems should be doing that as well. Simple, clear explanations are the key.
