Remember parents – Keep it safe and teach by example
I’m not sure if it’s some kind of summer rush, and I’m not one to jump on a soapbox, but I had 3 people write me in the past week about parents not taking the time to keep their kids safe and I wanted to pass it along.
– One person wrote about a mother riding in the front seat of a pickup, with her baby in the Baby Bjorn.  If the air bag deployed, the baby would be crushed.
– Another wrote about a family jaywalking with their young kids across busy streets.
– And another person wrote of a woman driving with 3 kids literally bouncing and jumping around in the back seat.
We’re not only responsible for our kids’ safety, but we’re their role models.  Take the time to show kids the right way to do things, not just what’s convenient.
