Summary

Parents can take simple and easy steps to protect their children from tragic injuries. Among US children ages one to fourteen, injuries cause more deaths than other causes combined. Raising Kids Who Choose Safety addresses the severity of accidental injury as a child-health concern and introduces a groundbreaking new method, TAMS: Teach, Act, Model, Shape. This simple, step-by-step plan based on the latest scientific research instills a culture of safety in the household. Practical injury-prevention advice is presented by developmental stage, from the infant, toddler, and preschool years, to the elementary school and early adolescent years. Injury topics that span all age groups are covered as well: sports injuries, time with babysitters, during holidays, and more. Parents learn the secrets to safety, gathering basic steps to safeguard their home, car, and yard. They also learn how to create safety in their household by modeling safe behavior, teaching children rules and skills to stay safe, and modeling a culture in which safety is practiced automatically by all family members. Raising Kids Who Choose Safety helps families avert tragedy, prevent the preventable, and stay injury free
