Safe Kids Worldwide’s Post

Kids can do some really silly things. 👧🏻 They climb on things they shouldn't. They ingest stuff that has no business being anywhere near their mouths. They put things like carrier bags over their heads when they... oh, you get the point. Thing is, children's safety is a big issue. There are many preventable accidents and incidents that result in injuries, or worse. With one small change, you can help stop a serious accident and keep them safe. 👷🏼♀️ This week is Child Safety Week, part of the Child Accident Prevention Trust's annual community education campaign. They're helping people manage risks to children's safety, so our children can grow and learn in your school with as little risk as possible. Let's all do our part to keep children safe in schools and beyond. 💙 #childsafety #riskprevention

School often creates a structure and routine that helps keep children safe. In the summer, it’s important that families create other ways to make daily schedules and agreed upon check in times, so everyone can stay aware and accountable for each other.

It's been a long time since I've provided child life services. There are a lot of jobs you work. When someone asks what you do for a living, it's normal to respond with the job title or even a job description for some obscure or esoteric roles. However, when you ask a Certified Child Life Specialist what they do for a living they'll start with "I AM A....". Because it's not what you do but who you are. It's a calling. It's a lifestyle. It's everything you think it is and so much more. We all rehearse the elevator speech. So in honor of Child Life Month, here is mine. Child Life Specialists help to reduce the stress and anxiety children and families might experience in a medical setting by providing medical preparation, procedure support, and developmentally appropriate play. These conversations usually carry on beyond the elevator because there's so much more to unpack in that statement. My succinct response was: I seek to inform. An informed patient is provided their due autonomy and is able to participate in their healthcare journey. I always clear up that my job is not to make kids happy...that's just a natural consequence of validating a child's experience. Take a look at some of my former colleagues in their element! Happy #childlife month!
