Extractions: Back to School Safety Tips From Safe Kids Canada Safe Kids Canada recommends these ways to keep kids safe on the way to school: Walk with children who are younger than age nine. One idea is for p arents to organize a "walking school bus" which picks up children as it walks through the neighbourhood. This way, parents can share the responsibility and time involved in getting children to school safely. Older, responsible children can also help walk young children to school. Teach your children the rules of the road from an early age. Learning how to be safe around cars develops with time and practice. Teach children to stop, look both ways, listen for cars, and wait until the way is clear before crossing. Pedestrians should be sure to make eye contact with drivers at stop signs and crosswalks. Walking or cycling your child to school is an easy way to practice traffic safety skills. Plan and practice a "walkable" route to school. If you can, choose routes that include sidewalks or other off-street pathways, and streets with less traffic volume and slower speeds. Plan a route that crosses as few streets as possible and where crossings have good visibility for both pedestrians and vehicles.

Extractions: Comments: Like in most areas, many preschool facilities and child care centers where I live use vans equipped with special features for transporting preschoolers, toddlers and infants. In many instances, these vans have been decorated or furnished to look like mini school buses. This really helps young children to make an easy transition to the traditional school bus and they feel like they are also going to school like older children. I thought I would share this fun, practical and educational concept.

Parents should work out a safe route to school with their children. Children should stay away from parks, vacant lots, fields, and other places where there arent many people around. Whenever possible, children should walk to and from school with a friend, neighbor, or a sibling. Be sure your children know their home phone number and address, your work number, and how to use 911 for emergencies. Talk to your children about not talking to strangers or accepting rides or gifts from strangers. Remind them that a stranger is anyone they or you do not know well or trust. If you have children home alone after school, have them check in with you or a neighbor as soon as they walk in the door. Make sure your children tell you if they are staying late after school.

Extractions: Back-To-School Safety Checklist When you drop off your child at school, use this checklist to make sure these hidden hazards aren't waiting to cause injury or death. Drawstrings on Jackets and Sweatshirts There should be no drawstrings on hoods or around the neck. Drawstrings at the waist or bottom of jackets should extend no more than 3 inches to prevent catching in car and school bus doors or getting caught on playground equipment. Loops on Window Blind Cords Cut the loop and attach separate tassels to prevent entanglement and strangulation in window blind cords. One child a month strangles and dies in the loop of a window blind pull cord or inner cord. Keep cords out of childrens' reach. Install cord stops to prevent formation of loop in inner cord. Bike Helmets Buy a helmet that meets one of the safety standards (U.S. CPSC, Snell, ANSI, ASTM, or Canadian), and insist that your children wear the helmet each time they ride their bike. About 900 people, including more than 200 children, are killed annually in bicycle-related incidents, and about 60 percent of these deaths involve a head injury. More than 500,000 people are treated annually in U.S. hospital emergency rooms for bicycle-related injuries. Research indicates that a helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by up to 85 percent.

I know: here we go with the back and forth, but since the post is placed amidst other more benign materiaols it seems meant to troll. So there is my response. Now we have Arafat virtually dumping Abbas, the PM, and Israel and the US saying it will not deal with Arafat; and the EU saying it will deal with Arafat; and the US and Israel saying Hamas terror group and EU saying the political end of Hamas ok so they will accept Hamas and on and on and on.
