Hi, I'm Michelle and welcome to the Safety4Kids Blog! In the coming weeks and months, I'll be sharing thoughts, experiences, and expertise on the subject of children's safety. I'll be discussing topics as wide ranging as seat belts, bike helmets, poison prevention, and internet safety. At Safety4Kids we are dedicated to providing you with the information and tools necessary to keep your kids safe and healthy.

I'm going to be offering you great educational tools to use with your kids; you'll find music and video to download and share with your kids, and lots more. So be sure to bookmark this page!

I work with a great support system at Safety4Kids, and together with our Safety Council, we represent the information and interests of great organizations like the
American Red Cross, American College of Emergency Physicians, American Academy of Pediatrics, the Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development at Tufts University, The Creative Coalition and many more. I will be inviting friends from these organizations to blog along with me! They'll offer advice, tips, ideas, and sometimes just share thoughts and even frustrations. And we hope you'll share yours, too. Post your comments and let us know what's on your mind.

It's a big world and it can be an unsafe place for kids. But if we all work together, become informed and educated, and then educate our kids, we can make this world a safer place.

Ok, let's get started!

Summer is here and if you're like me, you're concerned about keeping your kids safe while ensuring they still enjoy themselves! Finding that balance can be difficult. Summer Safety is a minefield all its own: sun, hydration, you name it. The only way to really protect yourselves is to have as much good, clear information as possible. We've prepared some tips for you, in PDF format, so just click here, download them and keep them handy for your family.

Tomorrow my friend Jen is sharing her sun safety story. I bet it will sound familiar!

Stay safe!
