I don’t like to use the word “accident.” Accident implies that what happens is unpreventable and the resulting injuries are inevitable. That’s a false assumption when it comes to our children.
CDC science shows that most unintentional childhood injuries can be prevented. Injuries do not have to be an accepted risk of growing up.
