Unintentional
injury is the leading cause of death in kids 14 years old and under,
with more than a third of these injuries happening at home1.
Household injuries are one of the top reasons kids under age 3 visit
the ER, and nearly 70% of the children who die from unintentional
injuries at home are 4 years old and under2.
Supervision is the best way to prevent injuries, in the home and out,
but even the most watchful parents can’t keep kids completely out of
harm’s way every second of the day.
Safe
and Sound with Amaya was started to help educate parents, grandparents
and caregivers, with Sound Ideas for better supervision and Safe
Planning for a more secure environment. Prevention is key.
