Each year, more than 200,000 children go to U.S. hospital
emergency rooms with injuries associated with playground
equipment. Use this simple checklist to help make sure your
school playground is a safe place to play. These action steps
will show how parents and students can help be a part of a
school's effort to create an orderly, respectful environment.
There are many options for school-age child care. Each offers
advantages and disadvantages, and none is right for all children
under all circumstances. Here are some things to watch for when
choosing child care for your child. Like most parents, you
probably have rules for how your children should deal with
strangers, and how far from home they're allowed to travel. It's
important to make similar rules for your children's Internet use
and to be aware of their online activities. Family involvement
is important. Are you doing your best to help with homework,
improve test-taking, & support your gifted child? Also, learn
what to do when your teen fails.
