Keeping Your Children Safe

 Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death and disability for children in the United States.  In fact, more than 9,000 children die from accidental injury each year.  That is nearly 25 deaths a day.  In addition, over 2.9 million children are treated each day for fall injuries.

As scary as those statistics may be, the simple fact is that most of these accidents can be avoided.  Keeping your children safe is the most important job that you - as a parent - will ever have.  The key is understanding what the dangers are how to address them and minimize the risk that they pose.  

For instance, car accidents are responsible for 25 percent of accidental deaths in children age 1-4.  However, a properly installed car seat can reduce the risk of death by 54 percent?

This infographic outlines the causes of accidental death and injury in children and what parents can do to keep them safe.
