NEVER SHAKE YOUR BABY Every year thousands of babies are injured and some die from, being shaken. Shaking a baby,| even one time, can delay normal development, result in brain dam-1 age, spinal injury, retardation or even death. "In moments of frustration, parents may forget how fragile their children are,” says David Kurtz, ( Ph.D. director of the Childhelpj IOF Foresters hotline. "The stretching motion that comes from a child’s head snapping back and forth can rupture the bridging! veins of the brain and result in lifei 8 long injuries in a few seconds,’P Kurtz explains. The Childhelp IOF Forester! 11 hotline (1-800-4-A-CHILD), thd F nation’s largest child abuse hot-f® line, provides 24-hour crisis counseling to parents, children and adult survivors of abuse. Parents may not realize the^ strength at which they handle theuk children when angry. Researctn shows that the danger of shaking^ your child is always present, but most prevalent between birth anc^ six years of age. Babies am infants are extremely at risk. Even well-meaning parents car harm their child. While mos parents enjoy the giggling am laughter as they toss their child U| in the air, they need to be awar< that the neck in small children am infants is very weak. The head, b; contrast, is very heavy. Here are some helpful hints tc help you avoid injuring your child: Always support the neck o infants, babies and small children.
