Masalah kesehatan pada anak cukup bervariasi. Obesitas, kebersihan dan kesehatan gigi, perilaku jajan makanan, mencuci tangan dengan sabun dan sebagainya merupakan bukti diperlukannya promosi kesehatan di masa anak-anak (Childhood Health Promotion). Program-program dalam promosi kesehatan bertujuan agar individu menerapkan perilaku sehat serta mempersuasi individu agar meninggalkan kebiasaan tidak sehat (unhealthful habits) yang selama ini dijalaninya, dan hal ini seringkali membutuhkan upaya memodifikasi keyakinan-keyakinan sehat (health beliefs). Beberapa metode dalam promosi kesehatan mencakup 1) fear arousing, 2) penyediaan informasi dan 3) metode perilaku. Meskipun tanggung jawab utama sekolah adalah untuk mendidik anak dalam bidang akademik, namun partisipasi sekolah dalam mempromosikan keterampilan hidup sehat pada anak-anak, seperti aktivitas fisik dan perilaku makan diketahui cukup efektif. Pelaksanaan promosi kesehatan untuk anak di sekolah dilakukan melalui kegiatan PHBS (Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat). Adapun indikator PHBS di sekolah adalah : 1) Mencuci tangan memakai sabun, 2) Mengkonsumsi jajanan sehat, 3) Menggunakan jamban yang bersih dan sehat, 4) Olahraga yang teratur dan terukur, 5) Memberantas jentik nyamuk, 6) Tidak merokok di sekolah, 7) Menimbang berat badan dan mengukur tinggi badan setiap bulan dan 8) Membuang sampah pada tempatnya.
