You'll learn the nitty-gritty details of how to handle common situations, and be warned of potential dangers you may not have considered. The book answers all of your questions, including: How do you determine which foods are "safe" for your child and which are not? How do you teach others about your child's allergies? How do you turn your home into a "safe haven"? What do you need to know to create a safe school and day care environment? How do you handle children's birthday parties, family get-togethers, guests in your home, etc.? How do you safely travel? Or go to a restaurant? What potential hazards are lurking at the playground, the movie theater or your child's best friend's living room? What about sports, camp, Scouts and other extracurricular activities?
