Keeping children healthy and safe

My biggest worry about keeping children safe is having the materials and sources to provide the families I will be helping. In addition, be knowledgeable of what to do when it comes to problem solving and most of all learn to how to help each child when it comes to aggressive behavior.

Generally, I worry about children having massive injuries from doing something unsafe, or from freak accidents like a child running on sidewalk that then trips and cracks their head open. For safety, I want to make sure that children are physically safe, and that they also feel physically safe, because the second is not always the case for all children, especially those who have or are experiencing abuse. I also want to make sure the environment is as reasonably clean as possible to prevent germ spread, such as children washing hands after using the bathroom, or sick children being sent home.

My biggest worry in keeping children safe is the possible risk of allergens either in or consumed the air @ the center or at home and is simply not known of as an allergy or in a medical record. now-a-days allergies come up left right and center … to medications to chemicals .. to a lot of things and babies and children are so vulnerable. In some cases it can take a long time to determine an allergy or be able to isolate a reaction. This is a variable outside of our control really; and if signs come up its possible to further investigate there after however it still worries me at times.
