Make a habit of placing matches, gasoline and lighters in a safe place, out of children’s reach.

To avoid overeating, let kids notice feelings of fullness and stop eating when they feel they've had enough.

Help little ones getting in and out of a vehicle. Hold their hands in driveways and parking lots or on sidewalks.

Soda and sweetened drinks add extra calories and little nutrition. Water and milk are the best drinks for kids.

Prevent scalds and burns by using the back burner of your stove and turning pot handles away from the edge.

Teach your kids to wash their hands before they eat and after they use the bathroom. No exceptions!

Get out and play! To stay healthy, it’s important that your child gets 30 minutes of exercise every day.

Teach good eating habits by setting the example. Choose nutritious snacks, eat at the table and don't skip meals.

Encourage healthy eating by keeping a bowl of fresh fruit on the kitchen counter and cold water in the refrigerator.

Before driving away, take a few seconds to walk all the way around your parked car to check for children.

Secure TVs to the wall with hardware to prevent tip-overs, which now cause a child's death every 10 days.

A helmet is the single most effective safety device available to reduce head injury and death from bicycle crashes.

Offering dessert as the prize for eating dinner encourages your child to value sweets more than meals.

When kids cut down on TV and computer time, they avoid mindless snacking and get active, reducing their body fat.

Make sure that all medicines, including vitamins and adult medicines, are stored out of reach and sight of children.

Put the toll-free number for the Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) in your cell phone and on your refrigerator.
