On thing you must do! Be prepared with permission forms.  If you were to talk to any emergency-room nurse you would fine. Unless the situation is life or limb threatening, emergency rooms cannot treat a child without permission from the parents!!!  To prevent needless suffering on your child’s part, sign an emergency treatment authorization letter and have it notarized, (We would be happy to notarize it for you.) Giving the hospital permission to treat the child, it is something that every parent should do. The form should stay with the child in a zip-locked plastic bag in the diaper bag or, if your child is school age, in his or her backpack. Make multiple copies and give them to grandparents, and give them to the next-door neighbors, car provider—any possible caregiver in the child’s life.

1. At Children’s parties, use Mylar balloons—not latex balloons—to prevent children from choking.
2. Remove plastic bags from dry cleaning immediately: keep them completely out of children’s reach.  Even a tiny p8iece of plastic can choke a child.
3. Do not allow your child to play in kitchen cabinets.  By establishing a cabinet as a play space, you are teaching the child all cabinets are play spaces.  Instead, keep a basket or box of toys in the kitchen for the toddler to play with.
4. Keep all chemical, alcohol, cleaning supplies, medicines, and guns locked up and inaccessible.
5. Do not store cleaning supplies in a cabinet underneath the kitchen sink, even if it’s locked.  While getting into it, you may be diverted by the telephone, or a good Oprah show or a neighbor coming by. It only takes a second for a child to discover those colorful labels and want to explore the contents of the containers.
6. If you must display potpourri, put it in a nylon stocking so baby cannot get into the tiny petals and piece.
7. Install a full-length bath mat and a spout guard in the bathtub.
