The Essential Child Safety Guide


I know I have been a little lax in the blog posting department, but let me assure I've been keeping very busy. As of today, I'm back on the blog-posting-wagon as of today.

A client (and good friend of mine) has just published a new book on child safety that I thought I would share with my readers. While, I realize this is a business blog, many of you out there have little ones running around and this is a must read guide for those with tykes!

From Crib to Kindergarten: The Essential Child Safety Guide, is written by Dorothy A. Drago, M.P.H and is published by Johns Hopkins University Press.

PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION
In childhood, the occasional bump or scrape comes with the territory. But serious injury is another matter, creating anxiety for even the most experienced parent. Fortunately, unintentional injury can be prevented. In this essential guide, an eminent child safety specialist explains how to reduce the risk of childhood injury at home — and beyond. Her tips help protect children from birth to age five—those who are most vulnerable to serious injury. She describes how to provide a safe environment during the daily activities of sleeping, eating, bathing, dressing, playing, and traveling. The major hazards and potential injuries associated with each activity are identified along with the age when the child is at greatest risk. Illustrations, checklists, and summary charts complement the text and put valuable lessons and critical information at parents' fingertips. From Crib to Kindergarten is an indispensable "how to" for parents, grandparents, teachers, babysitters, and daycare providers.

Available in both hardcover and paperback from the Amazon.com.
