  • 50. Safety at Home and Beyond: Preventing accidents and injuries.
    Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Roots and Wings podcast. I’m Liesel, and today we’re tackling a topic that is near and dear to every parent’s heart: safety. Specifically, we’re talking about “Safety at Home and Beyond: Preventing Accidents and Injuries.” Parenting is already a full-time job, and keeping our little ones safe feels like an entirely separate, but equally demanding, career. From baby-proofing cabinets to teaching teens about road safety, the challenges of keeping kids out of harm’s way evolve as they grow.
