Safety Starts at Home

Home is not only where the heart is, it's also where the danger is…especially for children. Households sport obvious health hazards (cleaning solutions), some not so obvious (mouthwash), and others that do double duty (windows are a worry: blinds cords must be modified, and children can fall out an open window--yet they must also be available as a fire exit). Sorting out the many facets of babyproofing, this friendly and informative guide covers fire safety, burn hazards, choking/suffocation/strangulation dangers, avoiding falls, drowning prevention, poisons, airborne hazards, and emergency preparedness. “Do it yourself” segments show readily available babyproofing products with prices, so viewers can see that an “ounce of prevention” truly is a smart investment. Highly recommended. Aud: H, P. (R. Reagan)
