Learn how to recognize threats to your child's safety around the home! Keep your laundry pacs always from children at all times. Ensure that they're kept high up. Keep them tightly sealed. Keep them safe. (From our friends at Tide)
For child safety advocates, stories are the music in our efforts. Joyous music is the best but for Samantha, a six-year-old girl from Henrico, Va., it didn’t always look like it was going to be a happy song.

Anyone with little loved ones in our lives has faced the task of finding that perfect gift. I used to feel sorry for those people running around the toy store and comparing one train set to another.

California, make it one of your resolutions on January 1 to follow the new law that requires kids up to age 2 to sit in a rear-facing child restraint system. The new law mirrors new guidelines from the American Academy for Pediatrics, based on the fact that a child’s head is heavier through age two and needs the extra support a rear-facing seat provides in the event of a crash. There’s an exception that says it’s OK to turn a child around if they weigh more than 40 pounds or are taller than 40 inches.
My 6-year-old son, Winston, has become a real estate tycoon.
I only realized the extent of Winston's strategic understanding of things like mortgages, cash flow and negotiation when he started playing a game of Monopoly over the Thanksgiving holiday with his Aunt Sarah.
I still consider myself a Monopoly novice but thankfully my husband, David, is more experienced, and apparently, he’s taught Winston well.
“My dad always buys the properties near the start – the cheap ones," Winston announced when Aunt Sarah even considered wasting her money on Pacific Avenue.
What a start to The New Celebrity Apprentice! Our hero and ambassador, Boy George, kicked off the season as the first winning project manager, earning $50,000 for Safe Kids Worldwide.

There were tough challenges this week on The New Celebrity Apprentice, but the teams—especially our Ambassador Boy George—rose to the challenges on behalf of their charities. As Arnold Schwarzenegger’s nephew Patrick Knapp said in the board room, “Big applause. Fantastic. Great job,” to our hero Boy George, who “totally over-achieved” in last night’s episode.
