As school starts and fall begins, Halloween is a tradition that many children look forward to. As you and your family go about picking out a costume or getting ready for trick-or-treating there is some important safety information that you should keep in mind.

Food plays an important role in our lives, but it can sometimes feel overwhelming to cater to your child’s food preferences, honor your family’s food traditions, and provide healthy, balanced meals.

Using a properly installed car or booster seat or buckling your child in properly can reduce the risk of serious injury or death by as much as 75%.

Just as important as teaching your child to safely cross the street, gun safety should be part of every family’s safety conversation. This conversation could prevent a tragedy or may even save your child’s life.

During the warm spring, summer, and fall months, children left alone in or around cars are at a higher risk of suffering from heat stroke. On a 70-degree day, even with car windows slightly rolled down, the temperature inside a car can exceed 120 degrees in 20 minutes.
