Abstract
This study developed and implemented educational materials to develop young children's awareness and proactivity in claiming their rights to medical services and participation in medical care. The main educational objectives were: (1) to increase children’s interest in their bodies and propensity to inform others when they notice bodily changes, and (2) to make these behaviors an expected part of daily life. Results showed that an interest in medical care is developed when children received continued training to actively talk about their bodies in their own words to doctors and others around them. Therefore, it can be argued that this approach may be fruitful in cultivating the ability to develop childhood independence in the future.
