the best gift you could ever give to any parent or soon to be parent of young children,
This review is from: 365 Ways to Keep Kids Safe: How to Make Your Child's World Safer, Ages Birth to 16 (Hardcover)
As my wife was first expecting and as we later became the proud parents of a new born son (he is now 7 years old), we had bought and read just about every book there was on the health and safety of children. If there was a new childhood safety device, we usually bought it as well. Quite frankly, most of the books we read were somewhat boring and hard to finish reading all the way through, even though the subject matter of childhood safety is so very important. So, I was blown away when I first opened and started reading through Don Keenan's new book. This book contains a treasure trove of information on how to keep kids safe in the increasingly dangerous world that we live in. Unlike the other books that we have read, this book is chock full of color pictures, diagrams, graphics, and (most helpful) checklists. To me, this book is not just a one time read. It will provide an invaluable future reference for new activities and situations that our children are first engaging in, but we, as parents, often wonder if we really know enough about them in order to protect and safeguard our kids. In the past, I have registered new parents to receive the CPSC notifications on children's product recalls and have done other things that I think will help them to keep their children safe. But from now on my wife and I know (without a doubt) that the best thing we can ever do, whenever we receive a new birth announcement or when my wife gets a baby shower invitation, is to give them a copy of this new book.

Important Book!,
This review is from: 365 Ways to Keep Kids Safe: How to Make Your Child's World Safer, Ages Birth to 16 (Hardcover)
As a child psychologist, I often see children who have experienced trauma including injury and/or loss. 365 Ways to Keep Kids Safe is filled with information about potential hazards in the home, community and school and uses real case studies to illustrate the life altering consequences of ignorance of those hazards, as well as a description of the legal actions taken and outcomes of those case studies. Related laws, regulations and statistics are provided in an easy to read and easy to understand format. Most important are the actions parents can take to protect their children, including checklists, to help parents be sure they are doing everything they can to minimize risk to their children. I keep this book available in my waiting room and often find parents reading it. I highly recommend this book not only for parents, but also for the waiting rooms of therapists, pediatricians and other medical or health practitioners, schools and day care centers.

Thorough & Easy to Follow,
This review is from: 365 Ways to Keep Kids Safe: How to Make Your Child's World Safer, Ages Birth to 16 (Hardcover)

Barnes & Noble Reviews Amazon Reviews To Whom It May Concern: I am writing you to recommend a book on child safety that I believe should be in the hands of every parent in the North American Continent. In my opinion, the book entitled "365 Ways to Keep Kids Safe" is the most thorough yet easy to read book on child safety. Prevention is the key to child safety and this book written by Don Keenan, Esq. clearly identifies nearly all hazards that may put your child at harm. Mr. Keenan has been a nationally recognized child advocate and trial attorney for over 30 years. He has represented nearly every form of child injury and believes that all were preventable. He also established a non-profit foundation (Keenan's Kids Foundation) nearly 13 years ago to create safety programs and public awareness. This informative book covers risks associated in the home, neighborhood, recreational activities, schools/daycare, transportation and other arenas. There are many products that are noted and illustrated with photographs. In addition, there are checklists and report cards for each category that are to be used as tools to assure the utmost safety. Finally, there is information on child safeguards that is easy for the general public to understand and follow. Though we have come a long way, the emphasis in our country needs to continue to strive for even greater prevention rather than treatment. As a board certified physiatrist (medical doctor that specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation), who has treated pediatric injuries for 17 years, I also believe that nearly all incidents could have been prevented. This book is an excellent tool to bring our society closer to a safer environment for our children and avoid these heartbreaking injuries that effects so many. Once you have had the chance to read this valuable tool, I am certain you will agree that this easy to follow book would be beneficial to any parent in our nation. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me directly @ 561-842-5695. Respectfully, Craig H. Lichtblau, M.D.
