Keeping Kids Safe From the Wrong Dangers

Whether children are going to school, going to play with friends two blocks away or playing a sport in school, parents may be concerned for their child’s well being.

There is no sure fire way to protect children from every harm there is in the world, but this article encourages parents to be aware of dangers that they may be overlooking because of too much focus on other areas of less potential danger.

For example: “The five things most likely to cause injury to children up to age 18, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, are: car accidents, homicide (usually at the hands of someone they know), child abuse, suicide or drowning. And what are the five things that parents are most worried about (according to surveys by the Mayo Clinic)? Kidnapping, school snipers, terrorists, dangerous strangers and drugs.”

Keeping updated with world or local news is good for awareness of the bigger dangers that are out there. Bringing the focus to a realistic level and spending one on one time with your child could help prevent some of the bigger dangers. Family dinners, less time in front of the tv, video games, or computer, family weekend trips or a hobby.
