Should I be worried about the hard edges on my furniture?
This week I heard from a dad who wanted to know if he should be worried about hard and sharp edges on the dressers and tables. Actually he seemed more concerned about himself than his kid, but the point is still the same. Remember my motto: if it is possible for a child to injure himself, he’ll find a way. Sure the hard corners on the dining room table can meet a forehead and cause a cut or bruise. If you are worried about it, you can buy corner protectors from your local baby and kids shop. Or use some foam rubber and a little creativity. But remember that your kid will just have to find another way to injure himself if you remove this option.

"WHAT I LIKED: This book is written in a funny, down to earth way that doesn't make you feel like an idiot. I really would have appreciated something like this when my kids were really little and I freaked out over everything they put in their mouths. It has a scenario/question and answer format, with clear answers on when not to panic and when to call 911."
