Did you know that injuries are the leading cause of death of children younger than 4 years in the UnitedStates Most of these injuries can be prevented

Often injuries happen because parents are not aware of what their children can do Children learn fast and before you know it your child will be jumping running riding a tricycle and using tools Your child is at special risk for injuries from falls drowning poisons burns and car crashes Your child doesnrsquot understand dangers or remember ldquonordquo while playing and exploring

FallsBecause your childrsquos abilities are so great now he or she will find an endless variety of dangerous situations at home and in the neighborhood

Your child can fall off play equipment out of windows down stairs off a bike or tricycle and off anything that can be climbed on Be sure the surface under play equipment is soft enough to absorb a fall Use safety-tested mats or loose-fill materials (shredded rubber sand wood chips or bark) maintained to a depth of at least 9 inches underneath play equipment Install the protective surface at least 6 feet (more for swings and slides) in all directions from the equipment

Lock the doors to any dangerous areas Use gates on stairways and install operable window guards above the first floor Fence in the play yard If your child has a serious fall or does not act normally after a fall call your doctor

Firearm HazardsChildren in homes where guns are present are in more danger of being shot by themselves their friends or family members than of being injured by an intruder It is best to keep all guns out of the home If you choose to keep a gun keep it unloaded and in a locked place with the ammunition locked separately Handguns are especially dangerous Ask if the homes where your child visits or is cared for have guns and how they are stored

BurnsThe kitchen can be a dangerous place for your child especially when you are cooking If your child is underfoot hot liquids grease and hot foods can spill on him or her and cause serious burns Find something safe for your child to do while you are cooking

Remember that kitchen appliances and other hot surfaces such as irons ovens wallheaters and outdoor grills can burn your child long after you have finished using them

2 TO 4 YEARSSafety for Your Child

(over)

If your child does get burned immediately put cold water on the burned area Keep the burned area in coldwater for a few minutes to cool it off Then cover the burn loosely with a dry bandage or clean cloth Callyour doctor for all burns To protect your child from tap water scalds the hottest temperature at the faucetshould be no more than 120˚F In many cases you can adjust your water heater

Make sure you have a working smoke alarm on every level of your home especially in furnace and sleeping areasTest the alarms every month It is best to use smoke alarms that use long-life batteries but if you do not change the batteries at least once a year

PoisoningsYour child will be able to open any drawer and climb anywhere curiosity leads Your child may swallow anythinghe or she finds Use only household products and medicines that are absolutely necessary and keep them safely capped and out of sight and reach Keep all products in their original containers

If your child does put something poisonous in his or her mouth call the Poison Help Lineimmediately Attach the Poison Help Line number (1-800-222-1222) to your phone Do not make your child vomit

And Remember Car SafetyCar crashes are the greatest danger to your childrsquos life and health The crushing forces to your childrsquos brain and body in a collision or sudden stop even at low speeds can cause injuries or death To prevent these injuries correctly USE a car safety seat EVERY TIME your child is in the car If your child weighs more than the highest weight allowed by the seat or if his or her ears come to the top of the car safety seat use a belt-positioning booster seat

The safest place for all children to ride is in the back seat In an emergency if a child must ride in the front seat move the vehicle seat back as far as it can go away from the air bag

Do not allow your child to play or ride a tricycle in the street Your child should play in a fenced yard or playground Driveways are also dangerous Walk behind your car before you back out of your driveway to be sure your child is not behind your car You may not see your child through the rearview mirror

Remember the biggest threat to your childrsquos life and health is an injury

How can I make mealtimes happy Make mealtime a family time Children like to eat with other people

Sit down and eat meals with your child Try to have meals and snacks at about the same time every day Do not bribe play games or force your child to eat Children need

to control their own eating Expect your child to spill sometimes Your child can use a child spoon

or fork You can start to teach your child good table manners Relax and enjoy your meal Do not make your childrsquos eating the

center of attention Keep the TV off during meals Make mealtime a quiet time for talking Set a good example Eat many different kinds of food Your child will

want to eat what you eat

How can I get my child interested in eating healthy foods Kids like to help plan meals and shop Let your child help pick out

fruits and vegetables at the store Try to go when your child is nottired or hungry

Kids also like to help in the kitchen Even a 4 year old can wash fruitsand vegetables tear lettuce for a salad cut up soft fruits witha plastic knife or stir batter for muffins

Your child can set the table and help clean up Your child will beproud to help

Your child can help you fix fun healthy lunches for preschool orkindergarten

As an adult

it is important

to replace

calcium

through

dmiddot your ret

CALCIUM The Bone Builder

Calcium is a builder and a helper mineral bull 99 of the calcium in your body builds and maintains bones and teeth

bull the other 1 helps your heart beat helps your muscles contract and relax helps clot your blood when necessary and helps your nerves send messages

The need for calcium starts when you are an infant Your greatest need for calcium comes during the pre-teens to the mid-twenties when bones become the strongest they will ever be This is the time to build your bone bank for the adult years ahead Beginning at age 30-35 the calcium balance in your bone bank will begin a slow natural decrease As an adult it is important to replace calcium through your diet every day to keep your calcium balance as high as possible

If your diet is too low in calcium this vital mineral will be withdrawn from your bone bank for the other important functions that require calcium Over time if the calcium taken from your bones is not replaced your bones may become porous brittle and weak Thats why it is so important to get enough calcium in your diet each day

How much calcium do you need I need this much calcium each day Check the box that lists your calcium needs (in milligrams of calcium)

Infants 0-6 months 2100 7-12 months 2700

Children 1-3 years 5000 4-8 years 8000

Pre-Teens and Teens 9-18 years 13000

Adults 19-50 years 10000 51 years and older 12000

Pregnant Lactating Up to 18 years 13000 19-50 years 10000

See Crank up Your Calcium on next page W see if you are rea~hing your calcium goal

CRANK UP YOUR CALCIUM Foods or medications or lifestyle habits can make a difference in how your body uses calcium The following tips can help you decide how to get the most benefit from the calcium in your diet

CALCIUM BOOSTERS Vitamin D is a must for calcium absorption Sources of dietary vitamin D are few vitamin D-fortified milk cod liver oil and fatty fish Besides food vitamin D also comes from exposure to sunlight--even for a short period of time People who live in cloudy or dark climates or who rarely get outdoors need to make sure their daily diet includes adequate vitamin D The recommended amounts of Vitamin D are ages 1 to 50 - 200 IU ages 51 to 70 - 400 IU and over age 70 - 600 IU

CALCIUM BUSTERS bull Too much protein or sodium in the diet causes your body to excrete calcium in the urine Eating a balanced

Qiet using the Food Guide Pyramid as a guide can prevent this problem bull Heavy alcohol use is linked with low bone mass If you drink alcohol do so in moderation bull Too much caffeine from coffee tea or soda pop coupled with a low calcium intake can cause bone loss

COPING WITH LACTOSE INTOLERANCE About 75 of the calcium in our food supply comes from dairy foods But these high calcium foods also contain the milk sugar lactose If you have lactose intolerance (experience gas bloating cramps andor diarrhea after consuming lactose) here are some tips that may help you enjoy high calcium dairy foods

bull try smaller but more frequent servings ofdairy foods throughout the day--enough to equal 2-3 servings bull drink milk with meals and snacks bull eat aged cheeses like Swiss and cheddar these cheeses have very little lactose bull enjoy yogurt the active cultures in yogurt have the necessary enzymes to break down lactose bull use lactase enzyme (available over-the-counter at pharmacies) or lactase-treated milkdairy products

(available in many supermarkets)

YOUR CHILDS FEARS

Understanding Your Childs Fears

Children have fears - theyre a normal part of growing up Young children from birth to school age have many new experiences and they are frightened by some of them

Carrie at 18 months of age doesnt know that she wont go down the drain with the bath water

Kenny at age 3 years meets the neighbors big German shepherd for the first time

Of course children dont need to be afraid when the bath water drains out and they do need to be careful when they meet a strange dog But young children cant tell the difference between these kinds of experiences

Fears commonly occur at certain ages in a childs life For example an 8-month-old is likely to be afraid of strangers and a 2-year-old is scared by loud noises These fears often appear when children are taking major steps in development like learning to walk or to make choices for themselves But they are still young children Being afraid shows that they still depend a great deal on theircparents despite their new abilities and independence So at these fearful times young children need extra love comfort and guidance from their parents and other adults

Sometimes a child has fears that the parents e211t find a reason for - he or she has nightmares fears of strange things in the bedroom at night or fear of a gentle dog that wasnt frightening just fast week Sometimes these fears are expressions of strong feelings within a child that he or she cant handle

Three year old Melissa for example was afraid of the lion behind the curtains in her bedroom This fear was a way of managing the anger she felt toward her father who had said that noon No Melissa you cant have candy now Its too close to lunch Melissa couldnt express her anger without risking the loss of her fathers love - and that was unthinkable

Understanding you childs fears is important because then you can help your child make sense of the world - and learn to manage fearful feelings and situations

How Can I Tell When My Child Is Afraid

Not all children fear the same things Some are highly imaginative and sensitive and may adjust less quickly than others to new and potentially frightening situations And children dont all show fear in the same way

jlJ bull

Some cry and look afraid

Some say smart remarks or act silly - justlike some adults do when theyre afraid

~

Some bite their nails or such their thumb a lot

When you leave your child has no sense of time and no way of knowing you will return But the following hints may make a situation like this a little easier

Talk about the separation ahead of time if possible and plan to have your child visit you in the hospital

Have your child stay in you home if possible and with someone he or she know well and likes

Phone at regular times while you are away

Be prepared for your child to be upset with you or to ignore you when you return Your child may be trying to give you a taste of how it felt to be left

Talk with your child about how much you missed one another

Bring something special home to your child especially if you have a new baby who will be showed with gifts and attention

Extra hugs and encouragement at these times give your child comfort and security Then he or she can have the confidence to try to understand and deal with the unpredictable world

Will My Childs Fears Change Over Time

Some fears are common at certain ages or during specific stages of development middot Here are some ways to help your child at those important times

Babies from birth to 15 months Some very young babies are fearful of loud noises and sudden movements

If your baby is frightened by the nose of say the hair dryer first introduce him or her to it when it is turned off Then gradually let your baby get used to the noise by standing some distance away when you run the dryer on low at first ~~

By 5 or 6 months of age most babies are frightened by strange people places and things Try the following when your baby is afraid of strangers

Try to leave your baby only with familiar adults during this stage

Have strangers approach slowly at first focusing their attention on a toy or some other object rather than on the child

An important fear common to all babies appears around 8 months of age - fear of separation At this age a baby is afraid than when loved ones leave his or her sight they wont return Because of this the baby may be unwilling to stay with familiar baby sitters or even other relatives

As times goes on - up to about 15 months - babies can show even more anxiety over separation from a parent Even good-natured even-tempered babies may seem upset and cry if the parent leaves the room Babies who have always gone to sleep easily and been quiet through the night suddenly refuse

to go to sleep andmiddotthen wake up over and over and cry The baby is not spoiled or bad ~just afraid the parent wont return

Knowing that these fears of babyhood are-common and normal you can understand your~baby s - behavior and be sympathetic and patient Themiddot foHowi I)g are some ways to help your baby - and yourself through this stage

Play peekaboo to teach your baby that separations from you are temporary Your disappearance is short and watch how delighted your baby is when you come back in view

Always tell your baby that you are leaving and emphasize that you will be back Its harder on a baby if parents sneak out

Tell your baby that you know how hard it is for both of you when youre away When you get back ask Was it hard while I was gone (Children are relived that an adult recognizes their feelings and puts them into words)

Encourage caregivers to be sensitive to your childs feelings about missing you and to accept those feelings

Leave a safe object of yours with your baby like an empty purse

Try not to be~ne any longer than you have to If your separation will be long arrange to phone your child

Take your baby with you on trips or avola long trips during your childs preschool years - t-~

All through your babys early years youll want to

be especially aware of gradually introducing him or her to new places and people Every new situation requires this careful introduction

Toddlers from 15 months to 3 years Because toddlers are growing in abilities and in their understanding of the world they have more fears than babies They are still afraid of separation but they also may become afraid of the dark afraid of taking a bath or afraid of animals Toddlers are still dependent on their parents but they also want to let go A great deal of conflict is going on within the child

Toddlers dont manage strong feelings like anger frustration and jealousy very well So they may create a fearful situation outside themselves in which to act out those feelings A good example was Melissa who imagined a fierce lion behind the curtains in her room when she was angry at her father These fears arent like ones that have an obvious reason such as fearing dogs after getting nipped by one

If a toddler feels angry he or she may think that things that make a loud noise - like a siren thunder or vacuum cleaner - are angry and be afraid of them All the technical explanations in the world wont helpsect bull

But the following may help

Recognize that your childs fears are real to him or her It isnt fair or useful to make fun of your childs fear of the monster in the closet

bull ~ gt bull t -bull bull

Dont join in the fantasy ~ fodnstance by pretending to chase away the monster middotin the closet Imagine how real it becomesmiddot if Mom or Dad chase it It is much better to calmly go with the child to see that no monster is there And a night light may also be rea~suring _(~

Explain that loud noises i~don t mean that an object is angry and tell your child middot you wonmiddott let anything harm him or her That s what parents are for - to keep children safe

Help the child get comfortable with animals or other feared objects For example desensitize your child to the good-natured dog next door Pick a calm time and gradually bring the child and dog closer and closer together first with the dog on the other side of the fence then on a leash and so on But if your child remains frightened dont continue

Encourage your child to express feelings in words This way fears dont have to show up in anxious activities

Provide calm predictable routines for your toddler especially at bedtime This gives the child a feeling of security

Give your child a hug and a pat on the back for even a small act of bravery- like putting a toe in the bath water

Parents who are understanding and supporti~e give-their child the message that they care

Preschoolers from 3 to 5 years Nightmares fear of the dark and of going to bed alone and fear of sirens and other loud noises are common to preschoolers These fears are a sign thatsomething has overwhelmed your child You may also notice that he or she has trouble calming cl0wn and following family routines Or your child may try to scare other children just like he or she has been scared

There is probably something important behind your preschoolers fears Is it anger about a new baby in the family Is it sadness over the death of a grandparent Is it jealousy over the parents being partners and the childs being left out Is it fear of going to school So recently toilet trained is the child afraid of losing control

Do your best to discover your childs underlying feelings While you cant eliminate unknown fears you can at least provide comfort and security You can be most helpful if you do the following

Help your child express himself or herself and understand and accept negative angry feelings

Provide acceptable outlets for your child I s aggressive feelings by pointing out how other family members handle these types of feelings - for instance by enjoyable vigorous activities

Continue to set and keep firm limits on your child appropriate to his or her age

Speak honestly and openly about the death of a relative or pet It is best not to tell a young child that Grandpa is sleeping or away on a long trip

Did you know that injuries are the leading cause of death of children younger than 4 years in the UnitedStates Most of these injuries can be prevented

Often injuries happen because parents are not aware of what their children can do Children learn fast and before you know it your child will be jumping running riding a tricycle and using tools Your child is at special risk for injuries from falls drowning poisons burns and car crashes Your child doesnrsquot understand dangers or remember ldquonordquo while playing and exploring

FallsBecause your childrsquos abilities are so great now he or she will find an endless variety of dangerous situations at home and in the neighborhood

Your child can fall off play equipment out of windows down stairs off a bike or tricycle and off anything that can be climbed on Be sure the surface under play equipment is soft enough to absorb a fall Use safety-tested mats or loose-fill materials (shredded rubber sand wood chips or bark) maintained to a depth of at least 9 inches underneath play equipment Install the protective surface at least 6 feet (more for swings and slides) in all directions from the equipment

Lock the doors to any dangerous areas Use gates on stairways and install operable window guards above the first floor Fence in the play yard If your child has a serious fall or does not act normally after a fall call your doctor

Firearm HazardsChildren in homes where guns are present are in more danger of being shot by themselves their friends or family members than of being injured by an intruder It is best to keep all guns out of the home If you choose to keep a gun keep it unloaded and in a locked place with the ammunition locked separately Handguns are especially dangerous Ask if the homes where your child visits or is cared for have guns and how they are stored

BurnsThe kitchen can be a dangerous place for your child especially when you are cooking If your child is underfoot hot liquids grease and hot foods can spill on him or her and cause serious burns Find something safe for your child to do while you are cooking

Remember that kitchen appliances and other hot surfaces such as irons ovens wallheaters and outdoor grills can burn your child long after you have finished using them
