Childhood injuries occur to children. For an active, inquisitive youngster, bumps, bruises, scrapes, and falls are all part of growing up. In children aged one to twelve, accidents, not diseases, are likely the major cause of death. These injuries may vary in severity and are caused by a variety of events, including accidents, falls, sports, and violence. Nevertheless, the vast majority of these injuries are avoidable.
Children need to be supervised and protected from potential hazards to prevent injuries. Proper safety measures, such as using car seats and helmets, can also help reduce the risk of injury.
