Your parenting style isn’t often something you choose. Parenting styles arise from years of experience between you and your child. Sometimes there are slight disagreements between parents on the ways the child should be parented and sometimes children are subjected to completly different parenting styles.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death in children from birth to 18 years old. One of the most common instances of this sort is accidental poisoning. Small children are curious by nature, and most of them will put anything—from colorful laundry pods to a glossy pill—in their mouths.
Children have a knack for getting sick or sore. From sporting accidents to asthma attacks, most schools see as many injuries and illnesses as a busy emergency room.
