Podcasts about Safe Kids Worldwide

Hosting young children during the holidays can create some risks around the house you might not think of. Creating a safe, functional home, especially in areas like the laundry room, kitchen, medicine cabinet, and bedrooms, is essential for the whole family. Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/VsVRA-qIWTg As an example, a survey by the American Cleaning Institute, from 2024, showed that 36% of Americans use decorative jars or containers to enhance their laundry space, a trend made popular on social media. However, putting products into clear jars or containers for aesthetic purposes is one way you may be unintentionally putting children at risk.   In this mini episode, Brian Sansoni, Senior Vice President, Communications, Outreach and Membership at the American Cleaning Institute and Torine Creppy, President of Safe Kids Worldwide show us how to help parents create safe and child-friendly spaces without sacrificing aesthetics. Both highlight the importance of proper use of cleaning products and the dos and don'ts of storing them, additional items to keep an eye out for throughout the home and areas to prioritize safety. Whether you're organizing, revamping, or preparing to bring a new baby home, ACI and Safe Kids have the resources, including a new safety guide, to help get your home in tip-top safety shape without scarifying style.  About American Cleaning Institute:  ACI is a non-profit organization.  Established in 1926, ACI is dedicated to advancing public understanding of the safety and benefits of cleaning products, and protecting the ability of its members to formulate products that best meet consumer needs. ACI serves both its members and the public by developing and sharing information about industry products with the technical community, policy makers, childcare and health professionals, educators, media and consumers.

Mark Wilhelmsson is the Author of "EMERGENCY - This Book Will Save Your Child's Life," Founder of Our Child's Keeper and the "Baby and Child Safety Master Class"Mark founded Our Child's Keeper after he nearly lost his son to a choking incident just after his second birthday. Luck saved him, not Mark. It was a wake up call - and here's why this is such an important issue to discuss and raise the awareness of: This year, nearly a million children worldwide will not make it to the age of 5. In the United States alone, it's approximately 8,000 children—or nearly one child per hour, according to Safe Kids Worldwide. This isn't due to war, disease or famine. We're losing these children from accidental injuries, most of which could have been prevented - and it's time that changed. Mark was an Investigator in NYC working on Civil, Supreme and Federal Court cases for over 26 years and then he decided to pivot and take that skill-set to look at what the real reasons are this is happening, and what we can do to radically reduce the number of childhood deaths and injuries worldwide – and he believes it's by empowering parents with the knowledge, life-saving skills and access to the most trusted experts and resources to protect and keep their children safe. Mark subsequently became a Certified Infant, Child and Adult CPR, AED and First Aid Instructor and Water Safety Ambassador through the Amercan Red Cross.

Phobia of Giving Blood (0:00:00) Are you afraid of needles, blood, or even fainting? Then you probably have never given blood: a combination of all of those fears. Many people are affected by this fear of giving blood and make up excuses as to why they cannot donate. However, there is a great need for blood donors throughout the U.S., and the fear is easily overcome. Joining us is Stephanie Sarkis, a therapist specializing in ADHD, anxiety and gaslighting.  KaBOOM! (0:10:43) Did you love playing on the playground as a kid? The woodchip souvenirs you would bring home in your tennis shoes, the calluses on your palms from the monkey bars, and the holes in your jeans from the plastic slides are all rites of passage for childhood. But there are a lot of children out there without access to a community playground. Only one in four kids in the US are getting the recommended amount of daily physical activity. KaBOOM! is changing that statistic one playplace at a time. They bring playgrounds to under-resourced communities. Here to talk about this business model is Amy Levner, the vice president of marketing and communications for KaBOOM!  Kids' Safety on Halloween (0:31:57) Did you know that on average, children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car and killed on Halloween than on any other day of the year? This heartbreaking statistic is more than enough motivation to prepare our kids for a safe trick or treating experience. Morag Mackay from Safe Kids Worldwide joins us to share how we can protect our young ones during the Halloween festivities. Scary Story (0:50:34) Sam Payne, host of The Apple Seed, tells us a scary story about Lisa and Richie. Banning Early School Starts (1:06:54) You see it every day – your kids are sleep deprived. They burn the candle at both ends, waking up early for school and staying up late with homework and extra-curricular activities. Well, California recently became the first state to push back start times for high schools. The bell can't ring before 8:30am – and middle schools will be banned from starting before 8:00am. Why? The legislation claims that teenagers, and their still-developing brains, need every extra minute of sleep possible. So, they seem to be on board with most of us. But is this the best way to get kids more sleep?  Teru Clavel is the author of the new book World Class: One Mother's Journey Halfway Around the Globe in Search of the Best Education for Her Children. With her experience as an education consultant, we thought she might have the answers on this striking sleep issue.  Halloween Activities (1:24:58) What do you think of when you hear the words, “Halloween night”? The most obvious answer is trick-or-treating. But is that the only thing you can do on the spookiest night of the year? Maybe your kids have outgrown trick-or-treating or the weather doesn't cooperate. Here to help us out with some alternative ideas of Halloween activities that don't involve trick-or-treating is friend of the show, Gina James.

It's the fear that runs through every new parent's mind at night: "Is my baby breathing?" The fear of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) and infant suffocation is among the first giant worries that plague moms and dads in the early months of parenting. And it's not without reason -- nearly 3,700 infants in the United States die each year from sudden unexplained infant death, including SIDS. Clearly, there's more to know than just "back to sleep." Knowing the risks involved in day-to-day activities that we take for granted -- things like wearing your baby in a wrap, or even letting her nap in a carseat -- is key to learning how to reduce those risks. Amber Kroeker is here today to help us wade through the uncertainties of SIDS and infant suffocation so that you can rest easily knowing that your baby is sleeping safely. Amber is the Child Injury Prevention Coordinator at Randall Children's Hospital in Portland, Oregon, and is a leading voice in the infant safety community. She's also the driving force behind the Smitten Sleep System, an award-winning, next-generation bassinet box designed to reduce infant sleep death. In This Episode, You Will Learn: The most common causes & risk factors for SIDS and infant suffocation The age at which infants are most at risk for SIDS Why babies' anatomy puts them at the highest risk for suffocation during sleep How sleeping in the carseat can risk SIDS and infant suffocation Tips for wraps & baby-wearing -- how to do it safely When you can introduce stuffed animals, blankets, etc., into your baby's sleep area What type of sleep devices can help create a safe sleep area And much, much more!

【特别感谢热心听友“​Maggie 欣欣”帮忙听写本篇文稿】Heyang: We’ve all done it: when a conversation gets boring, we pull out our smartphone and start playing with it. This is been called phubbing. But apparently, Chinese teenagers are taking it to the next level: as a new survey found that 60% of teenage pedestrians are on their smartphone as they are walking in the streets. It is okay?Guys, what’s going on here?Ryan: Oh goodness. Let me tell you all about it, okay? A survey released by non-profit organization Safe Kids Worldwide with the support from FEDEX, So it bit sounded like Fedex but I didn’t want say that because there’s a delivering company called Fedex, found teenagers are often distracted by the use of electronic devices while walking, which can cause traffic accidents. So it’s been revealed that 93.1% of students surveyed in a survey possess smart phones. 60.9% of those surveyed said they got distracted by the use of electronic devices while walking. And nearly half (45%) of the respondents admitted that they themselves or their friends and family have nearly experienced pedestrian clashes while using smartphones, tablets or gaming devices. So here are, you know, overwhelming amount of these people that were surveyed, the students have phones, and more than half of them are getting distracted while walking using these devices at the same time. Another question I would like to ask is like those who do drugs these students or even, you know, younger adults that do drugs was the number of people that use like phones when they are doing that on a scooter or in a car, also a good thing to look into I think.Heyang: Oh that’s very interesting.Niu honglin: And actually I don’t think it’s limited to teenagers I think adults also do that too. They also walk and drive and do everything with their cellphone and actually in some metro places and malls they have this warning, like saying you should not use your phone when you’re on the elevator or when you’re walking. They have this because more and more people are doing that. That’s why they’re warning people not to.Ryan: Yeah. Okay so let’s talk a little bit more about the survey coz I’m sure some questions are being asked about that. So basically they surveyed 1000 middle school students on their pedestrian habits. The students came from 10 schools in Beijing. Apart from that, the kid’s safety advocacy is measuring the risk of these students walking through school zones. And you know, a lot of these distractions, you probably say, ’what are they doing’ Well of course maybe they’re using like, messaging friends, they might also be listening to music and making phone calls.Heyang: Yeah and it’s really interesting that you guys keep on saying,’ all these kids are being distracted or adults are being distracted when guys, I don’t agree with you at all. That sounds like you’re shifting the responsibility of walking safely yourself to digital device? No way! It’s you putting this on yourself. Nobody is distracting you. It’s because you don’t have the ability to say no to stuff when you should have. That is my opinion and these guys are kind of shaking their heads in front of me so they don’t necessarily agree with me. But they get a chance for their rebuttal right after the short break. The part that I feel very passionate about is I don’t think you’ve got anybody to blame or to take this as a distraction. It is just you putting your safety second (Ryan: Yeah) and putting your digital device first. What is wrong with you?Ryan: Oh yeah~ I got some information for you, Heyang.(Heyang: Yeah~) Okay, so, pedestrian injuries among 15-17 year olds account for 37.24% of all pedestrian injuries among children 17 and under. So I mean, I would say that these are kids; these are tiny kids and so much of them are this group basically 15-17 year-olds. They are not adults so I don’t believe we should hold them to the standard of adults. They are still very much kids and I think there’s needs to be some parent guidance here and that is you know, like when I was a kid I would run across the street like a mad man I could even think I would dodge traffic like I was invincible, you know. Even probably well on to 15 if my mom hadn’t said, you know, lay down the ground working. She said Ryan look both ways before you cross this street. Always wait till you have a clear, you know, no problem zone to cross. You know these kind of things, but basically we’re seeing a lot of these injuries are happening with kids.Niu honglin: I agree with you when you were saying they need some guidance and they need someone to tell them they’re not doing it right. But you have to know their reasons when they say they do not want to put their cellphones down it’s because maybe they’re listening to a song that hasn’t come to an end and they say they wanted to keep company with their friends in the internet and they don’t want to make the other party unhappy and the third reason which I find a little ridiculous is that they do not…they simply do not want to stop playing.Ryan: Right you said you find this ridiculous. Well I can’t speak for China; I don’t know the specific rules but you’re not considering an adult in the U.S. until you’re of 18 years of age. So these are kids. And of course they are ridiculous. Kids do ridiculous stuff. They don’t know any better and what I’m saying here to both of you but especially Heyang I’m pointing my finger at you, girl (Heyang: What’s up?) I’m saying that you can’t hold them to the standard of adults. I think if this was a different survey and we found that these were actually people who were considered adults. I would agree with you. But these kids need guidance and basically tablets are more available now than ever and kids are getting them. So parents need to join the current situation we’re living in right now and be able to tell their kids, ’Hey, while you’re walking, put that phone away.Heyang: Yeah, I think it’s interesting you make that distinction, Ryan. But I just don’t think a teenager of 17 years old or an adult of 18 years old are that different. I just feel that for these…Okay when it comes to legality I have to agree with you, Ryan. But when it comes to using your smartphone and ditch it when you should so you can stay alive and don’t walk into a tree or get hit by a car or walk into a manhole and fall into whatever stuff and you could lose your life then I don’t think that it is an excuse to say that I just want to stay connected. That’s just not good enough.Niu honglin: Well, I would like to take a little step back and say that maybe it’s because when they’re still kids when they started to…( Heyang: Teenagers! We are talking about teenagers now!)Yeah, I’m trying to say when they’re still kids and they don’t know how to see the world. They don’t know how to think about things. Maybe their parents didn’t tell them about the devices because they don’t have it back then. And now they have this and maybe they don’t have a right way of thinking things and seeing things now.
