The moment every parent has been looking forward to (or dreading) is finally here be it a week later than usual. It is “Back to School” time. The school period is a formative time in the lives of children, which not only allows them intellectual growth but also develops their social skills. Parents and children may also face many health issues during this period in a child’s life such as common illnesses, playground mishaps, developmental issues and social interactions.
In conjunction with this The Malaysian Medical Gazette will be publishing several articles related to children of a school going age throughout the week. We would like to wish everyone a great school year ahead and hope that those affected by the recent floods will also manage to return to their normal routines soon. Our prayers are with you.
