I hope that the
preceding information is helpful to everyone who reads
it. Not one of us can prevent all accidents; however,
all of us can contribute to the prevention of most of
the common and obvious.Ken George recommends to
all parents of newborns through toddlers, to take a
child's eye view of what your child sees. As a parent,
get down on your hands and knees and look around,
inside your home, and
see what your child sees through his/her eyes. The
obvious hazards and dangers will stare right back at
you.
As a parent, for the first time, you will
encounter those tears in your child's eyes, those
outcries for help, or a "pick-me-up-and-rub-my-head"
scream. Don't panic, these are growing pains. When a
child is born, there is no "Guarantee" tag attached, or
"Return If Damaged" label. All of us who have raised
children, or who are planing a family, will have many
moments when our hearts will pound faster than normal.
But remember, when your child was born, the mold was
broken. Only we as parents can help that child grow up
healthy and safely. Provide a healthy and safe
environment for your child to live in.
If you
have a friend, relative, or know of someone who would
like a copy of these "CHILD SAFETY TIPS", please
contact us and we will send one to them or give them
our website address.
And remember, there is no
such thing as "BABY-PROOFING" or "CHILD-PROOFING".
NOTHING SUBSTITUTES FOR PARENT SUPERVISION. If you
install or have installed child safety devices, these
devices are only safe and become safe if used properly.
We must never stop teaching our children safety.
