Description: Accidents can happen to anyone at any time. Although it is almost impossible to eliminate every potential danger your child may come across throughout their young lives, it is possible to reduce the risks they may encounter. There is a fine line between protecting children and stifling them. Over protective parents can unwittingly prevent their children from learning about possible dangers and therefore how to protect themselves from harm. This book will help parents to take a balanced look at the dangers both inside and outside the home. It will show how to eliminate as many potential risks as possible. It also offers a wealth of tips and advice on topics including Stranger awareness, Bullying, Understanding the dangers of the internet, Recognising the different types of abuse, Learning about personal safety, Dealing with accidents and illness and Understanding basic first aid.
