It is hard to believe that 2012 is almost over and the holidays are right around the corner. This is typically a season when families give and receive a lot of gifts. As someone who works in injury prevention, I know this is also a time when children are at an increased risk for injury. Watch this video to hear me talk about ways to keep your children safe during the holidays.

I encourage you to share this video with your friends and family. For more information on toy safety, visit www.safekidswi.org.
