                            Safety Center:

                            Child safety is a major cornerstone for the unique toy store experience DunceBusters provides. We want to help you not only find a toy solution that helps your child learn while at play but is also safe. At DunceBusters we stay in contact with the Toy Industry Association in order to help us share the latest information and trends for toy safety.


                            Safety Tips from Safe Kids Worldwide:

                            Chrissy Cianflone, Program Manager, Safe Kids Worldwide, offers these important tips for selecting a toy this season that will help ensure fun and safe play:

                            * Choose toys suitable to your child's age, abilities and skill level. Toys that are not appropriate for your child's age group may pose safety hazards.
                            * Avoid toys with small removable parts, which could pose a choking hazard to children under age three.
                            * Look for high-quality design and construction. Make sure stuffed animals' eyes, noses and other small parts are tightly secured.
                            * Avoid sharp points or edges on toys for kids under eight. 
                            * Avoid electrical toys with heating elements (batteries or electrical plugs) for children under eight. These toys are a potential burn hazard.
                            * Avoid toys that produce loud noises and choose toys that have a volume control mechanism.
                            * Avoid toys with strings, straps or cords longer than seven inches. These can pose a potential strangulation hazard.
                            * Be sure to read the labels on all toys. Be aware of age and safety recommendations and take them seriously.


                            Child safety unfortunately is not limited to just toy safety. At DunceBusters we have teamed up with the Child Rescue Network to help get you information you can use to help protect your child.


                            Safety Message from the Child Rescue Network:

                                At Child Rescue Network we believe that fear is simply not knowing what to do. We do not want kids to be afraid of the world around them. Instead we want to teach our children how to recognize what is a potentially dangerous situation and then how to react should the need arise!

                                If kids know some of the tricks predators use to lure them, they can be better prepared to make decisions that could save their lives. Child Rescue Network encourages parents to set aside a few hours to work with your child or children to teach them some easy rules and then consistently reinforce those rules at every opportunity.

                                When to start teaching kids about this type of safety issue depends on the development level of the child. Some kids can comprehend the need for safety and rules at a very early age, while others may need a different approach to understand the same messages. Keep in mind the idea is not to scare your child or make them afraid of everybody. Never teach the "Don't talk to strangers" message! The reality is that most people are good and would never hurt a child... in fact your child may need a "strangers" help someday to get them out of real danger! The idea is to empower your child with the information and training to help them make the right decision at what could be a very critical moment.

                                Here are some safety rules that you can download and print to practice with your child regularly.  Feel free to print copies or email the link to all of your friends and family with children. There is no charge! There are versions geared to children in both English and Spanish and there is also a version geared more for adults that goes into further details behind some of the information.

                                By teaching your child these simple rules you can help eliminate opportunities for predators that may try to victimize your child. If a child has a plan of action and knows how to react in potentially dangerous situations, then they won't necessarily need to be faced with the impossible decision of "Is this a good person who wants to help me or a bad person they may hurt me?"

                                Communication is the absolute key to helping keep your child safe! They need to know that you are their biggest advocate and their safety is your number one concern.   Your kids need to be able to feel that they can tell you anything and that you will help them through it.  Make sure that when your child becomes interested in exploring his or her sexuality, and they will, that you are the source for their information. If you are uncomfortable and need help there are resources listed elsewhere on this web site.

                                Remember if your kids can't come to you, can't talk with you, then to whom are they talking?
