REVIEW:
This is a great site for learning about physical health or emotional well-being. Body Matters includes detailed information on the body and how the body works, advice on how to take care of your body (Do's and Don'ts), and a Body Tour. The tour has four parts that covers the body, muscles, organs, and skeleton. Mind Matters discusses worries that children have such as friends, school, changes and loss, ways to think positively, and activity sheets that deal with emotions.
