Your Child's Health
www.childrens.com; Web site features interactive tools for medical, safety content
Photo of new Web siteThe Children’s Web site, www.childrens.com, features user-friendly, interactive content designed to educate parents and children on pertinent health and safety issues.

On the site, parents can find interactive content on allergies, car seat installation, and water, holiday and fireworks safety. For example, a virtual tour guides users through a typical home and yard, with “hot spots” highlighting potential allergy triggers and information on how to manage them. In addition, interactive guides instruct parents on proper child safety seat installation and child-proofing the home for Halloween and Christmas.

All of these guides are available online at www.childrens.com/patients_families/
interactive.cfm
. Future topics will include the dangers of leaving a child in a hot car and child obesity. To play the interactive animation, the Macromedia Flash player must be installed as a plug-in. It can be downloaded for free at www.macromedia.com/software/flashplayer.
