It appears that Child Safety Day has recently passed. According to many different news articles, many states and companies celebrated it on different days during May by offering events or workshops on issues regarding children’s safety. Meridian, MS is actually doing a child seat checkpoint this Friday to make sure parents have their car seats correctly installed. I personally think that this is a very important day for parents. We should constantly be aware of our children and the safety of their environment and lives but it wouldn’t hurt to also take this one day a year to review the common things that surround our children. Sit down and create a checklist of toys, cribs, high chairs, activity centers etc. and visit one of the many recall sites our there to make sure what you have in your home hasn’t been added. Or take the time to do a little internet research and find out some of the newest safety laws for your area. I think this should also be a good time to remind parents to go get their CPR license for the first time or renewed. No matter how old our children are, it is up to us as parents to provide them with safe and happy surroundings.
