Description

Most parents have heard about the need to childproof their home. But they might not know that more children ages 1 to 14 are killed by injuries that can be prevented than by any other cause. This brochure provides parents with steps to protect children in the home, including remove any furniture that a child could pull over, put screens in front of hot radiators and fireplaces, never leave a child alone in or near water, put special bars called window guards on all windows, and more.
