Preventing Child Head Injuries
Preventing child head injuries can be a challenge since children are always getting into things and taking risks. Here are a few things you can do to minimize the risk of head injury.
Always put your child in a car seat. You never know when another driver will hit you and cause a severe head injury to your child.
Have your child wear a helmet when he or she is riding a bike, skateboarding, or playing a dangerous sport.
Use baby gates to block stairs when your child is learning to walk.
As your child gets older, talk to him or her about being careful when doing certain activities.
