Day 4 of the #Tennessee #SpecialSession. I’m tired but determined to see this through and after it’s all said and done, the fight for gun safety will continue. And organizations like Affirm, founded by fellow EM doc, Megan Ranney MD MPH 🌻 will be there to help. #DoctorsForGunSafety

Always wear your seat belt and make sure your children are buckled in the right size car seat or booster in the back seat #BeInjuryFree

Center your discussion around what's best for their child, grandchild, family member or friend. We know that ideas have changed over the years to make things safer for kids.... #BeInjuryFree

Be sure they know that they can call you if they are in a difficult situation. Talk about staying calm should they experience a traffic stop by the police. #BeInjuryFree

Q4 In agricultural communities, ATV's and Tractors are common vehicles that cause injury. Appropriate size ATV's for age, helmet use, seat belt use are all important considerations. Young children should not ride on ATV's or tractors as they can fall. #BeInjuryFree

Q5 I emphasize firearm safety--gun unloaded and locked--ammunition locked separately---and I don't ask if families have a gun--just talk about safe firearm storage #BeInjuryFree

A6. Using the recalled products page in AAP news helps identify products that have safety issues. #BeInjuryFree

A7 Biometric gun locks that allow only the owner to use the gun. These slide onto the gun handle and over the trigger and fall off once the owner uses their finger on the biometric touch pad. #BeInjuryFree

Q8. In our community, cars being stolen by teens and driven recklessly through our city streets has become a new injury mechanism. The young people in the cars and bystanders have been killed and injured. #BeInjuryFree

A9 AAP's healthychildren.org and their Safer Firearm counseling videos (both free) are great! #BeInjuryFree
