We would like to learn about different ways children look at their health. Here are some statements about health or illness (sickness). Some of them you will think are true and so you will circle the YES. Some you will think are not true and so you will circle the NO. Even if it is very hard to decide‚ be sure to circle YES or NO for every statement. Never circle both YES and NO for one statement. There are no right or wrong answers. Be sure to answer the way you really feel and not the way other people might feel.

PRACTICE: تمرین

Try the statements below.

Children can get sick.

If you think this is true‚ circle……………………………………… YES

If you think this is not true‚ circle…………………………………NO

Children never get sick.

If you think this is true‚ circle………………………………………. YES
