Safe Places

Every Child Needs to Feel Safe

It’s a basic human need to be safe, protected, and loved. When your little one feels safe and secure, he will have the energy to explore, listen, and develop all the brain power he will need for the rest of his life. When your child grows up in a peaceful, calm, and happy home, she will be healthy and able to focus on learning her very first skills.

  • If your home was built before 1978, have it tested for lead poisoning hazards.
  • Might your child have asthma? Clean air in the home is as important as medicine.
  • Keep conversations peaceful and calm around small children.
  • Store poisonous chemicals out of reach of children… not under the kitchen sink.
