If you're like most parents, you likely want the best for your kids. You want them to have long, healthy lives with a robust immune system. Unfortunately, a lot of students miss out on that opportunity. In fact, more than 3000 children under the age of 18 receive cancer diagnoses each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There are a lot of children in that number who are struggling. Thankfully, there is still hope. New methods of cancer prevention and treatment are always being researched. And the incidence of cancer in young people is gradually decreasing thanks to the efforts of cancer researchers worldwide. By educating your child about the illness and its signs and symptoms, you can aid them in their fight against cancer. Here are some pointers for educating kids about cancer: 1. Discuss cancer with your children. Inform them that cancer is an illness that can affect anyone, regardless of age. Let them know that having cancer is not a sign of weakness or a deficiency in character. 2. Inform your children about free cancer screening and detection services (SCDS). Free cancer screenings and health education are provided to children and their families as part of the SCDS initiative
