30-Day Health Writing Challenge: Children’s Health

Children's health is a common topic for most health writers, and it's the focus of this 30-day writing challenge.

LAST UPDATED: October 3, 2024 | AUTHOR: Michelle Guillemard

Children’s health is another common topic for most health writers and it’s the focus of this 30-day writing challenge. If you have little ones in your life, this challenge should be a breeze!

Also, this challenge is less technical than previous challenges – so, you should find it nice and relaxing. You’ll be writing about common childhood illnesses and healthy lifestyle tips for children.

The idea is to complete one challenge a day every day for 30 days. Do a few or every single one – it’s up to you! Even doing just a few of the tasks will help you exercise your writing muscles.

Missed our previous challenges? Our previous challenge focused on women’s health. You can also view view all the challenges in the series here.
