- Here are two things you can do that will go a long way: First, secure
- the tree to the wall or other stable object (ceiling hook, window
- frame, large piece of furniture, etc.) with strong twine or wire, so
- that it can't fall over, no matter who tries to climb it. Second,
- don't decorate the tree within the child's reach. It looks a little
- funny, but it beats a trip to the emergency room.
-
- This is the time of year when plastic surgeons get the most referrals
- from pediatricians. Let's be careful out there.
