Every parent knows that the occasional bump, scrape, or bruise comes with the territory. But the thought of serious injury is a concern for even the most experienced parent, grandparent, babysitter, and teacher. Fortunately, unintentional injury can be predicted and, consequently, prevented. In this essential guide, child safety specialist Dorothy Drago provides tools for reducing the risk of injury at home and beyond for the most vulnerable, children between birth and age five. 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 put valuable lessons and critical information at your fingertips. From Crib to Kindergarten is an indispensable partner for new parents, loving grandparents, devoted teachers, and daycare providers.
