In part 2 of our safety series, we are discussing baby-proofing, injury prevention and water safety. We are joined by Jennifer Rubin, UC Davis trauma prevention manager and coalition coordinator for Safe Kids Greater Sacramento. We review common methods of accidental injury for young children and discuss tips to prevent accidental ingestions, falls and water safety.
We thank Jennifer Rubin for joining us on this episode of Kids Considered but Drs Lena & Dean take responsibility for any errors or misinformation.

Kids Considered™ is a UC Davis Children’s Hospital podcast, featuring two pediatricians who discuss child health topics of interest to parents in plain, non-medical language. New subjects are considered in every episode, discussing issues that apply from healthy pregnancy to birth to teen years. We have different styles of practice and viewpoints, but our goals are the same: we want to optimize children’s health and development, and help parents understand current recommendations and why policies are the way they are. We aim to provide accurate and timely information in an entertaining manner to increase the confidence of parents as they address the sometimes confusing parenting issues of our day. Although our podcast is aimed mainly for parents, pediatricians and other health care providers might find our discussions of interest. And children might want to get a behind the scenes look at what their parents are listening to.
