Do kids come with a manual?

How many parents have asked themselves that question in the middle of the night when a child is crying for an unknown reason, or when you're rushing your child to the doctor or perhaps they've gotten something stuck in their nose.  For these scenarios or a half a dozen others, I know plenty of parents worldwide who would stand in line for hours to get a copy of a manual.  Any manual would do or even an instruction booklet written in several languages.  Just provide something to explain the creature standing before you called - your child.   The line would be so long, people would pass by and think the latest smartphone is being released.

Well, I'm sorry to say, there isn't a one size fits all manual, but here on these pages, we will pass along the latest safety tips and topics to help you on your journey.  Some information will be delivered with humor (laughter truly is the best medicine sometimes) and other days it will be more serious.  But in either case, let's lock arms and travel this road together!

A little background about me.  My name is Sharon Blacknall and I'm the founder of Child Safety Tips and Programs.  I have been a Child Safety Advocate for many years and am the author of the book, The ABC's and 123's of Child Safety.  I'm also a proud USAF military veteran, wife of a veteran and mother of two.  I absolutely adore children and am always looking for ways to help parents keep their kids safe.

We will cover a variety of subjects and have guest columnists from time to time.  We will also have a "What's on your mind?" segment where you will have an opportunity to ask questions and hopefully we will have the answers (smile).

So we will sign off for today with our signature.

Remember - "If you fail to plan, Plan to fail!"

Until the next time...
