With back to school just
around the corner, it's al-
ways a good idea to review
some tips that can make
the transition from sum-
mer vacation to classes
easier on students, their
parents, teachers and
school officials. The fol-
lowing safety and transi-
tion suggestions are list-
od with permission from
~d~i~ource, the Ameri-
can Academy of Pediat-
rics.
MAKING THE FIRST
DAY EASIER
Remind your
child that she is not the
only student who is a bit
uneasy about the first
day of school. Teachers
know that students are
anxious and will make an
extra effort to make sure
everyone feels as comfort-
able as possible,
Point out the
positive aspects of start-
ing school: It will be fun.
She'll see old friends and
meet new ones. Refresh
her positive memories
about previous years,
when she may have re-
turned home after the
first day with high spirits
because she had a good
time.
Find another
child in the neighborhood
with whom your young-
ster can walk to school or
ride with on the bus.
If you feel it is
appropriate, drive your
child (or walk with her)
to school and pick her up
on the first day.
BACKPACK SAFETY
Choose a back-
pack with wide, padded
shoulder straps and a
padded back.
Pack light. Orga-
nize the backpack to use
all of its compartments.
Pack heavier items clos-
est to the center of the
back. The backpack
should never weigh more
than 10 to 20 percent
of the your child's body
weight.
Always use both
shoulder straps. Sling-
ing a backpack over one
shoulder can strain mus-
cles.
Consider a rolling
backpack. This type of
backpack may be a good
choice for students who
must tote a heavy load.
Remember that rolling
backpacks still must be
carried up stairs, and
they may be difficult to
roll in snow.
TRAVELING TO AND
FROM SCHOOL
Review the basic rules
with your youngster:
School Bus
If your child's
school bus has lap/shoul-
der seat belts, make sure
your child uses one at all
times when in the bus.
If your child's school bus
does not have lap/shoul-
der belts, encourage the
school to buy or lease
buses with lap/shoulder
belts.
Wait for the bus
to stop before approach-
ing it from the curb.
Do not move
around on the bus.
Check to see that
no other traffic is coming
before crossing.
Make sure to
always remain in clear
view of the bus driver.
Children should
always board and exit
the bus at locations that
provide safe access to the
bus or to the school build-
ing.
Car
All passengers
should wear a seat belt
and/or an age- and size-
appropriate car safety
seat or booster seat.
Your child should
ride in a car safety seat
with a harness as long as
possible and then ride in
a belt-positioning booster
seat. Your child is ready
for a booster seat when
she has reached the top
weight or height allowed
for her seat, her shoul-
ders are above the top
harness slots, or her ears
have reached the top of
the seat.
Your child should
ride in a belt-positioning
booster seat until the ve-
hicle's seat belt fits prop-
erly (usually when the
child reaches about 4' 9"
in height and is between
8 to 12 years of age). This
means that the child is
tall enough to sit against
the vehicle seat back with
her legs bent at the knees
and feet hanging down
and the shoulder belt lies
across the middle of the
chest and shoulder, not
the neck or throat; the
lap belt is low and snug
across the thighs, and not
the stomach.
All children un-
der 13 years of age should
ride in the rear seat of ve-
hicles. If you must drive
more children than can
fit in the rear seat (when
carpooling, for example),
move the front-seat pas-
senger's seat as far back
as possible and have the
child ride in a booster
seat if the seat belts do
not fit properly without
it.
