In the 5- to 14-year-old age group, baseball is the number one cause of sports-related injuries.
Be aware of potentially dangerous situations at home and in school. Insist that children use protective eyewear when participating in sports or other hazardous activities.
Provide adequate supervision and instruction when your children handle potentially dangerous items, such as pencils, scissors, forks and penknives.
Be aware that even common household items such as paper clips, bungee cords, wire coat hangers, rubber bands and fishhooks can cause serious eye injury.
Avoid projectile toys such as darts, bows and arrows, and missile-firing toys.
Do not allow your children to play with non-powder rifles, pellet guns or BB guns. They are extremely dangerous and have been reclassified as firearms and removed from toy departments.
Keep all chemicals and sprays, such as sink cleaners or oven cleaners, out of reach of small children.
