Young Parent (Teen Mom) Lesson Plan
In Utah, approximately 60% of poisonings occur in children under the age of 6 years. Therefore, educating parents of these children is a key element in preventing poison exposures. While most people are aware that potential poisons need to be kept away from small children, many parents are unaware of how poisonings occur and which products pose the greatest risk of poisoning young children. The Young Parent lesson plan follows the Utah State Core Curriculum for Health Education in grades 9-12.
