Philip Kouns/The Children’s Village at Christian City

Christian City is a non-denominational, non-profit organization with a mission to minister to the spiritual, physical, social and psychological needs of families, with particular emphasis on children, the aged and infirm, by providing residential, health and social services according to the principles and teachings of the Christian faith.

For more than 49 years The Children’s Village at Christian City has provided a quality Christ-centered, family-focused, community-based program of care for the many “children of need” coming to them.

The Children’s Village affords a safe and loving haven to children from circumstances that are disturbing to desperate. The reasons they come to them are varied, but each child needs the loving care of adults they can trust, and safety from abuse. Sometimes they lack even the very basics like food and shelter.

Their ministry provides children a stable environment where they learn structure, responsibilities, and live in productive, affirming and safe homes. They seek to meet the child’s needs through four distinct programs: The Children’s Village at Christian City residential program, Project Safe Place, the Transitional Living Program, and the developing ministry to young adults with cognitive challenges and developmental disabilities.

The Importance of Safety! First Response Safety Training

00:00 /

Tom Enser has seen a lot of ugly things in his career! As the owner of a company that teaches safety training, he is often called on by friends and acquaintances when an emergency occurs. Tom tells of one particular occasion where he was called over by a neighbor. A person had fallen and was on the floor with an obvious head injury, with lots of blood on the floor. Tom’s first question was, “Has anyone called 911?” The answer, “No, we called you!” Seems like common sense to call 911 first, doesn’t it? In emergencies, common sense often takes a back seat to panic.

First Response Safety Training is committed to high quality, affordable training for both healthcare professionals and family caregivers that seeks to encourage the right response in an emergency as second nature. Tom and his wife have owned First Response Safety Training for 13 years. They offer certification courses in CPR, First Aid, AED, Fire Safety and Bloodborne Pathogens. First Response Safety Training and Griswold Home Care will be partnering to offer CPR and First Aid classes in the Tucker area on a regular basis. These classes will be open to both healthcare professionals and family caregivers! To reach Tom, call him at (770) 945-6837, or visit their website here: www.firstresponsecpr.com.

We want to thank Griswold Home Care for sponsoring today’s show. Griswold Home Care has been a preferred provider of high quality, affordable in-home senior care in Atlanta for 20 years.

Medical exams – make sure they insist that each child gets a medical exam prior to joining team

4 Car Seat Safety Tips

00:00 /

putting your car seat in safely is critical to keeping your child safe when you drive. The Fat Guy could never do this right so he went to the fire station and the nice firemen helped him. Here are some basic rules but each state has their own laws regarding child safety car seats.

Infants 0-1 years old and are under 20 pounds should be in rear facing car seats in the back seat
Toddlers 1 and older who are over 20 pounds can be in forward facing car seats
Older kids then move to a booster seat up until they are 8 years old
Kids 8 and older will want to move to the front seat – but fight that urge. You want to avoid your kids controlling the radio as long as possible
