Children raised under constant supervision are less likely to "fall into accidents." The presence of adult supervision (as provided by nannies)results in the near absence of accidents and a low awareness in the general population of objects that can potentially endanger a child. The availability/affordability of paid adult supervision can vary according to economic status or cultural practice. If 24/7 monitoring cannot be provided, the child's environment needs to be modified so that a child left to his own devices faces minimal risk of harmful exposure. But this should not replace adult supervision. <BR/>Environmental protection or its consciousness is likely observed in fast changing environments where the population is most likely able to view the contrasts of what it was then, and how it looks now. Scarcity or the obvious dwindling of resources can be catalysts for conservation. It's hard to imagine this happening in sparsely populated areas where resources are plentiful.Ellen Uyencohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08467929702461681972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140728203331431330.post-33879994580244910202008-03-03T05:58:00.000-05:002008-03-03T05:58:00.000-05:00All of these topics are important, and believe that it will be a great source of information for young mothers/families, single women and many beyond.<BR/>Any information that contributes to the idea of protection within all aspects of life is important. I also like the idea of anonymity for people that are seeking support.<BR/>The stark contrast between the life here and “regular” Western life, with regards to safety is so evident. I always think that I would love to make a difference for children and women. But this is also a life pattern that includes uneducated and down trodden. My opinion is that in the western world there is more personal humiliation that can be well hidden. THIS is where I think a blog for child safety and domestic violence is always in search of. <BR/><BR/>I am not sure if I am headed in the direction you want me to be. As I quickly glanced the page for the first time- those were the subjects that caught my attention. The idea of environmental protection/change is equally as important. We do what we can to make a difference- but once again, our side of the world is so slow on the uptake that even the importance of recycling is not endorsed nearly as much as it should be. And the ease of recycling resources does not exist.<BR/>THIS is when I love being back in a society that is revamping the system to impact the future. The simple things in life will make such a difference in our children’s future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
