Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
What are the greatest hazards at these ages?
around one year…two years…three years…four years…
TODAY, ACCIDENTS are the greatest single hazard
of early childhood. In fact, accidents in and
about the home take the lives of about 3,000 children
yearly in the age group from one to four.
Thousands more of our children are injured . . . and
many are permanently crippled . . . by accidents
which might have been prevented.
One way to help safeguard young children is to
know something about what a child does at various
stages of growth. Around age one, for example,
they put practically everything in their mouths.
This is why household cleansers, and small objects
such as pins and buttons, should be put away.
Age two is the time when the child explores and
investigates everything around him. So, potentially
dangerous things-such as medicines. knives,
matches and electrical equipment-should be kept
where a child cannot reach them.
The child of three may have a serious fall, especially
when he climbs near windows. on furniture,
or goes up and down stairs. Windows should
have guards on them. Screens need to be firm and
securely fastened. Stairs should always be free of
objects on which a child can trip.
Four-year old children are "runabouts." They
should be taught to watch for cars in driveways
and to ride their tricycles on the sidewalk.
Children need regular health examinations for
correcting defects of vision or hearing that could
lead to mishaps. If repeated accidents occur, a
special effort should be made to discover the cause.
Children of school age also have many accidents.
So, be sure to remind them of the importance of
crossing streets properly, obeying traffic lights and
equipping and riding their bicycles for safety.
