S2E9 - Holiday Shopping for Kids? Learn About Safe Toy Choices
The holiday season is upon us once again! Wish lists in hand, you wander the toy aisles searching for the gifts that will bring a smile to your kids’ faces. You might be thinking about safety – trying to assess which of the many options will be appropriate and fun. Maybe you have older children as well. Or you’re buying for family members. How do you buy for different ages? Why do age recommendations matter? What products and product parts should you watch out for? In today’s episode we’ll answer these questions and more so that you can feel confident shopping this holiday season.<br /><b></b><br /><b>Key takeaways:</b><br /><ul><li>Age recommendations on products, such as toys, are not related to your child’s abilities but rather to the small parts that are dangerous for younger children. Toys recommended for older children have pieces that are small and can be a choking hazard for younger children.</li><li>Button batteries are very dangerous if swallowed and they are found in everything from toys and greeting cards to remote controls and hearing aids. If you suspect or know your child has swallowed a button battery, it is an emergency. Take them to the hospital immediately and give them a small amount of honey to help coat the battery to prevent it from leaking and burning the esophagus.</li><li>An easy way to check if an item is a choking hazard is to use a toilet paper tube – if the item fits through the tube, it’s a choking hazard.<b><br /></b><b></b></li></ul><b>Guests:</b><br />Leslie Bangamba, parent<br />Dave Trafford, grandparent & SSN Chief Executive Producer<br />Kirstin Weerdenburg, Director of Pediatric Emergency Ultrasound Research & QA, IWK Health Centre<br /><br /><b>Resources:</b><br />- For more information, visit <a href="https://parachute.ca/en/injury-topic/home-safety/aound-the-house/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">parachute.ca/en/injury-topic/home-safety/aound-the-house/</a> <br />- Watch <a href="https://youtu.be/2v4h1JD5gOs?si=fvbS6KpzWZoO3YBc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><b>"Amélie's Second Chance"</b></a>, the documentary about Leslie’s daughter Amélie, who ingested a button battery.<br /><br />Popping the Bubble Wrap is a podcast of Parachute, Canada’s national injury prevention charity.

S2 Bonus EP #2 - Influencing Parents: Who Do You Trust? We Talk To An ER Doctor
Did you know that 20% of your TikTok feed is highly likely to contain misinformation? That’s one in every five TikToks you watch! In our world today, it’s so easy to rely on social media, such as Instagram and TikTok, as sources for information – including information that impacts our health and wellbeing. The important thing to keep in mind: advice can sound good, but it can actually be harmful. In today’s bonus episode, we’re joined again by Dr. Natasha Collia (aka "Dr. Tash") to take a pause, and talk about how to know who to trust, about information and misinformation, and some key questions to ask yourself when you see advice online.<br /><br /><b>Key takeaways:</b> <br /><ul><li>Be aware of the source of information online. Ask questions like “What are their qualifications?”, “Who are they representing?”, “Does the information sound too good to be true?”. Pay special attention to posts pushing and selling products or sounding like an infomercial.</li><li>Canada and the United States don’t always have the same regulations or approvals. Check if a product is legal to be sold and used in Canada.</li><li>Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval and FDA review are NOT the same thing. Approval means the product has been through testing and approved for use. Review means the product has been looked at by the FDA but not (yet) approved.</li></ul><br /><b>Guest:</b><br />Dr. Natasha Collia ("Dr. Tash") - Pediatric Emergency Medicine Doctor and Simulation Educator at SickKids<br /><b><br /></b>Follow Dr. Tash on<b> </b>Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dr.tash.official/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@dr.tash.official</a><b><br /></b><b></b><br />For more information, visit <a href="http://www.parachute.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">parachute.ca</a><b><br /></b><b></b><br /><b>Other sources of information:</b><br />Health Canada - <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/consumer-product-safety.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/consumer-product-safety.html</a><br />Consumer Product Safety Commission - <a href="https://www.cpsc.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cpsc.gov</a><br />Food & Drug Administration (FDA) - <a href="https://www.fda.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fda.gov</a><br /><b></b><b></b><br />Popping the Bubble Wrap is a podcast of Parachute, Canada’s national injury prevention charity.
