FROM THE FRAMEWORK TO A CHILD’S WORLD

A big idea.
A small place to start.

The coloring and activity book is the first My World of Health adventure. Maya, Leo, Sam, and Jordan help kids notice how Health Elements show up in familiar places.

On this site, those ideas become stories to explore, connections to discuss, and discoveries to celebrate. A board game is planned as the next chapter.

THE FRAMEWORK THAT INSPIRES THE SERIES

The Periodic Table
of Health Elements™

A map of the many building blocks that shape health. Each square names an element; together, they help us see connections and what support might be missing.

DHIT’s Periodic Table of Health Elements, numbered 1 through 88 and organized into Medical Care, Environment, Individual Behavior, Genetics and Biology, and Socioeconomic Circumstances.

MEDICAL CARE

Care includes your voice.

Access to care, the quality of care, and being heard all matter. Medical Care includes the services, support, and relationships that help kids and families get the care they need.

Wonder together: “What helps our family get care and feel heard?”

Percentages reflect the category allocations in DHIT’s framework, rather than a prediction of any one person’s health. The table is a way to explore connections. It is not a scorecard for a child or family, and no one controls every element.
