- Today’s children are tomorrow’s adults. The way of life is changing; earning has increased tremendously and forces both parents to work to meet with requirements of life. Sometimes even in the rural areas families may not have elders like grandmothers to give support for the care of younger children from 6-9 months to 5 years are left under the care of elder siblings between the age of 6-7 and 12-14 years, are termed as mother substitutes. Hence one of the important aspects of the care of children whether urban or rural was the simple training of these mother substitutes. So ‘Child-to-Child’ programme was developed. Child to Child programme, which is an original approach to education for health, applies to school age children. It makes children feel responsible for their own health. Pre-experimental design was selected to assess the knowledge of the primary school children regarding prevention of worm infestation. A structured interview schedule was developed to assess the effectiveness of Child-to-Child approach through role play on prevention of worm infestation. Mean percentage of pre test was 37.34% and post test was 62.66. SD of pre test was 3.791 and post test was 2.785.
