What are some of the more common safety and health risks that children face and what can be done about them?
What will be an ideal response?
Students might mention the risks of diseases (such as cancer, heart disease, and pneumonia) and accidents (such as
car accidents, drowning, and fires). They could also note the impact of malnutrition. To reduce risk, kids should
have immunizations, always use car seats properly while in the car, be supervised near water, be kept safe from
heat (such as matches, lighters, and stoves), be kept away from guns, outlets, and household cleaners, be aware of
"stranger danger," and be sufficiently and nutritionally well fed. Students might also wish to discuss various types
of child maltreatment and how to reduce risk.
