Starting the Conversation
So, since we're just getting started here, I thought I'd talk a little more about where I'm going with this site. Ideally, I'd like this to become a child safety community of sorts. I envision a place where people can go to find out about child safety, but also engage in discussions and debates about child safety. What have people come across that they think is particularly dangerous to their children? What was unexpectedly dangerous? What practical tips do people have to make their child more safe?
One thing I'm particularly interested in is the balance between keeping our kids safe and letting them test their limits. We could all put our children in a bubble where they'd never get hurt, but they'd be missing out on so much that makes life fun. Climbing trees, going too fast on a bike, pretending the top of a brick wall is a balance beam -- all of these things are not only fun for kids, but it also builds their confidence. Most of it is common sense. Let them ride their bike a little too fast, but make sure they have a helmet. Let them walk on the wall, but walk underneath them to break their fall. Make sure the tree they're climbing is a good climbing tree with sturdy branches. Kids are going to get injured -- broken arms, cuts, chipped teeth -- that's all part of childhood and we as parents can't and shouldn't try to prevent all injuries. Our job is to do what we can to minimize the risk of the truly serious ones.

When I was a child, I once wandered away from my parents to look at something that caught my fancy -- completely oblivious to the ensuing panic my parents experienced. They found me a few minutes later, yelled and cried, and I promised never to do it again. I'm writing to you because I think your readers will be interested in learning about a new product from Nanomatic that will keep them from undergoing the trauma of having their child wander away if they make the mistake of diverting their attention for a scant few seconds...
If you've ever lost your car, or maybe even your dog while out for a walk, the mixed feelings of helplessness and hopelessness can be just awful. Well, it's 2009 and technology should be able to help us keep this sort of thing from happening, right? FINALLY, I've come across this cool mobile application that allows me to care for what is important on your mobile or laptop. It's really worthwhile...check it out!
It's free for download at the iPhone, Samsung and Nokia stores. You can also download it at any of the social networks like Facebook, MySpace, Orkut, Hi5 and Bebo.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Have to take pleasure in your time you put into your blog :)

A lot of bloggers pretend to comprehend what they're preaching about when it comes to this area and in reality, very few people actually get it. You seem to know about it however, so I think you need to start writing more. Thank you!
