The unthought of danger

Every so often the local news shares a story of tragedy turned into a mission. When I heard this on the news this morning, I knew that this is worthy of a  tidbit post. For all of the times that parents wish for a manual in child rearing, this at least is a good chapter to include. Some will bolt bookshelves to the wall in case of earthquakes but where earthquakes are not common, we forget about the other cause of falling dressers, bookshelves, and such…our children.

Here is the story.  Complete with audio or script.

One other tidbit: Don’t assume your child will NOT do something just because you didn’t/wouldn’t or the other one NEVER did.

New parents are overwhelmed with advice, some of it unwelcome, but every new parent would do well to ask an experienced parent to stop by and make sure the house is child-proofed. That way when Johnny does what kids do, you can say “I have that covered.”
