Whilst surfing the web last week I came across this headline from the Los Angeles Times blog: “Five tips to keep your kids safe this summer”. I am always keen to read parenting tips that offer good advice so I read on. The tips were from the Toy Industry Association and as I read them I got more and more offended at what seemed like “teaching us to suck eggs” advice. ‘Supervise your children’, ‘put sun cream on them’ … oh please. So after a little rant to myself and with Child Safety Week approaching on the 22-28 June 2009, I decided to try and write some less insulting tips with a few of my own experiences thrown into the mix.
