Thanks to everyone who took the time this month to learn, share, and take action.

Don’t let your baby suffocate to death. This is a tragedy you can prevent. Follow these rules:

· No sleeping in adult beds, couches, recliners, futons or swings.

· No sleeping with adults and other children.

· No sleeping with pillows, blankets, stuffed animals or other soft objects.

Talk to Your Children About Child Abuse

Many adults are uncomfortable about talking with children who have questions about child abuse or who, unfortunately, may be victims themselves. This tip sheet was developed by experts to suggest language appropriate for communicating effectively with children about this sensitive subject. Its aim is to answer children’s questions in a way that they can understand without frightening or confusing them.

Don’t assume that a child will behave or react in any particular way. Every situation that involves child abuse is different, and every child responds differently. Simply being an available, responsible adult may provide the support a child needs. Establishing or maintaining a sense of normalcy or routine may help to reassure a child and start the healing process.

Your community has resources that can help you, the child, and troubled families through this difficult time. Refer to the resources in this brochure for more information about how to help.
