Traditions TLC Bay Area Child Safety

editor — Tue, 01 May 2012 02:55:13 +0000

All children are unique. They are filled with their own quirks, habits, and endearments, but the one thing that all toddlers have in common is curiosity. If you have a curious child then good, being curious can help your kid grown into a well rounded and intelligent individual. But sometimes your young one’s keen interest in the world can spill over from the fascinating learning experience you want for them, to a dangerous and harmful situation; this is why it is necessary to take every precaution with your little bundle of joy to insure their safety and wellbeing.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about 2.3 million children are accidentally injured every year and more than 2,500 are killed. Simple steps can be taken in your home to insure that nothing disastrous happens to your child and so your house can stay intact.

Possibly the most important tip is to keep an eye on your child. Young children and infants have a habit of getting into everything, but so long as someone is watching them attentively this shouldn’t be a problem. If the need arises the caretaker can swoop in and offer up something less hazardous to do.

The childcare industry has already created numerous products marketed towards child safety. The following are a list of products we found useful in the childproofing process:

o Outlet covers

o Door knob covers

o Stair gates

o Safety latches

o Corner edge bumpers (to keep your child from injuring themselves on sharp table edges)

o Anti-scald devices for indoor water sources

o Furniture anchors for unstable objects in the house

o Window guards

o Safety netting

You can find many of these items at: http://www.childsafetystore.com/

Some safety advice applies to children of all ages.

o Guns, chemicals, and dangerous electrical appliances shouldn’t be accessible to the children.

o Never leave a child alone in the bathroom.

o Don’t use a lot of soft bedding or other objects in beds, it can lead to suffocation.

o Secure windows and doors

o Make sure sharp objects, such as knives and scissors, are unobtainable

o Watch out for lead paint

o Keep pan handles on the stove turned in, so that the child can’t spill the boiling contents on themselves

o Have general household emergency preparedness up to snuff, i. e. first aid kits, fire alarms, and security systems.

Follow these guidelines and your child will live in the safe environment they need for their enthusiastic playing and learning.

Potty Training Tips On The Road; Palo Alto, Bay Area,

editor — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 20:28:14 +0000

There are so many places to go in the bay area for kids and we want to take them to explore everything right? But what if you are potty training a child and you are out and about and suddenly your little potty trainee says. “I have to go potty!” There you are in the car, no bathroom in sight. Be prepared and stock your car with a portable potty so all you have to do is pull the car over in a safe location and presto…problem solved.

Some people are worried that this can be messy but there are great portable potties that are easy to use and are very clean. Having some hand sanitizer in your car to wash hands with can be very useful too.

One product that I personally like is called; Travel Potty by Cool Gear. Click the link so that you can check it out for yourself.

You will be happy that you have this product in your car if you are potty training a child. It is very cost effective too. I found the one linked for less than $30 and soon you will be able to find this product in our online store! Spring has just started. There is fun in the air. So get your kids out and about. Put that portable potty in your car and have some fun!

Have a wonderful day,

I am happy to say that I have kept the 20lbs off this holiday season that I’ve lost this last year we are about to say goodbye to. I did it with Weight Watchers! I swear by this program. If you are one of those people who have tried everything to loose in every way, just like me…then just try it for three months and I promise if you stick with your daily points, that you will loose. Slowly but surely my weight has dropped off and it’s finally staying off too!!
