Good Seller
Book was in condition as described. Shipped promptly and arrived the same day as the delivery estimate. Good seller.

Outdated book filled with typos
This book was required for my college class and it was an okay book- it has a lot of typos with simple words that can be easily noticed and edited which was annoying. Some of the information are outdated and irrelevant with such nonsenses. It was published 5 years ago so it made sense why this book is rather outdated... Last of all, this book offers some pros like valuable first aid information for CPR and Helmich, safety and nutrition for infants to preschoolers. I'm giving this book 3 stars.

Never Received The Book
Amazon had to reimburse my payment because one of the sellers calu never sent the order. I waited a month for a book that never came. I would never buy from calu again and you shouldn't either. This seller was very inconsiderate and never responded to any of my emails. ... Read more

From the author: This survey documented self-reported health and safety behaviors of parents of children enrolled in Head Start programs. The sample consisted of eight preschool programs (n = 1,143) from different geographical areas of the country. This survey obtained baseline data on parent self-reported behavior as it relates to priority issues in child health and safety. A 25-item questionnaire assessed parents' behavior related to injury prevention, fire and electrical safety, firearm storage, poison prevention, automobile safety. and child supervision. More than 90% of parents reported they use car seats, teach handwashing and pedestrian safety, and keep medicine and alcohol out of children's reach. Fewer than 60%, however, reported they keep guns and bullets stored separately and locked, possess a working fire extinguisher, or have the poison control telephone number available. Findings provide direction for emphasis for those developing or implementing a comprehensive family health education program.

From the supplier: A survey documents the extent of parents' knowledge on the health and safety of their preschool children enrolled in Head Start programs across the US. In an assessment of parents' self-reported behavior with regard to injury prevention, fire and electrical safety, firearm storage, poison prevention, auto safety and child supervision, it was shown that over 90% of the parents reported using car seats, teaching handwashing and pedestrian safety and keeping toxic materials out of children's reach. Findings provide direction for emphasis in developing a comprehensive family health education program.
