CHILDREN’S HEALTH MINUTE Presented by the TexCare 60 Second Radio Feature    MP3 "Holiday Toy Safety" FOR AIR WEEK OF DECEMBER 10, 2001 Kids and toys just naturally go together at holiday time. But how can you be sure that the toys you buy are safe? Hi, I’m Dr. John Hellerstedt, and this is the CHILDREN’S HEALTH MINUTE. During the holiday season choose toys with care, keeping in mind your child’s age, interest and skill level. Be a label reader. Pay attention to the age recommendations on the package. And, once toys are given, keep the ones designed for older kids away from the little ones. Of course, special attention must be paid to toys given to infants and toddlers. No toy, or removable part, should be so small that it could lodge in an infant’s throat. Protecting children from unsafe toys is everyone’s responsibility. This CHILDREN’S HEALTH MINUTE is presented by the TexCare - - - Reminding you that no child should be without health insurance. Call 1-800-647-6558 to apply for children’s health insurance that is $18 a month or less for most families. And join me next time for the CHILDREN’S HEALTH MINUTE.
