A7 I love creating meaningful connections with families. Any topic where I am talking w/ families and understanding their lives is my favorite. My motivation is watching parents value safety for their children and reducing the number of child deaths #BeInjuryFree@RileyChildrens
Q7. What is an injury prevention topic that is near and dear to your heart? What motivates you to continue your work in injury prevention? #BeInjuryFree
A6 The holidays often mean company and cooking! Keep an eye on children around hot food items to prevent burns. Read labels on toys to prevent choking for young children. Ask grandparents to store their medications. Last, enjoy the time together! #BeInjuryFree@RileyChildrens
A5 To promote safe sleep, @RileyChildrens teaches caregivers the ABC’s: ALONE, on my BACK, in my CRIB. Consider becoming a safe sleep ambassador or learn more about safety for your baby by visiting these links #BeInjuryFree

A4 It’s important to recognize and accept that many homes have firearms in them. With this, think about how you can keep your child safe from an unintentional shooting. Remember to consider the other homes they may go to. Many firearms look like toys #BeInjuryFree@RileyChildrens
A3 More time in the home means greater need for home safety. Common home injuries include poisoning, burns, falls, drowning, and suffocation. Try completing this home safety checklist by @safekids and make any needed changes #BeInjuryFree@RileyChildrens

A2 Caregivers can teach their children simple safety tips for walking and riding bikes. Partnering together caregivers, schools, community leaders, and more can be effective for creating a Safe Route to School #BeInjuryFree@RileyChildrens

Q2. Who should caregivers reach out to if they are worried that their child is at risk of being hit by a motor vehicle on their walk or bike to school? #BeInjuryFree
A1 Caregivers can be excellent role models for their children by wearing their own seatbelts. Caregivers can also schedule an inspection appointment with a certified car seat technician near them #BeInjuryFree@RileyChildrens

Safe sleep from the beginning. Newborns should sleep on their back, in their own bed, with no blankets, pillows, or stuffed animals. Help your baby sleep safe and sound by starting from day 1! #SafeSleep

Tummy to play, back to sleep. Babies need tummy time, but think of it as play time. When getting to the business of sleep, the safest position is laying on the back, on a firm surface, without any toys or loose bedding. #BackToSleep#SafeSleep
On Wednesday, November 18, 2020, the Injury Free Coalition for Kids will launch the inaugural National Injury Prevention Day to raise awareness about the significance of injury and advocate for prevention. #BeInjuryFree https://t.co/5M1jtVZzjT
