A developmental approach to childhood safety education

K H Sewell et al. Pediatr Nurs. 1993 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Injuries are the leading cause of childhood mortality in the United States. Both susceptibility to injuries and understanding of safety issues are significantly influenced by a child's developmental level. Knowledge of developmentally based teaching strategies will enable nurses to provide effective safety education to parents and children.
