Grandparents, remember,
buckle up your grandchildren
This Grandparents’ Day - Sept. 13 - the Georgia Department
of Community Health, Division of Emergency Preparedness &
Response, is urging grandparents to understand the importance
of buckling up their grandchildren in an appropriate and cor
rectly installed car seat.
Car crashes are the leading cause of death and serious injury
among children even when close to home and at low speeds.
Grandparents can help keep their grandchildren safe by using
car seats designed for crash protection, unlike early models which
focused on comfort and convenience.
When it comes to choosing the best car seat, choose the one
that fits the child, fits the vehicle, and can be used correctly and
consistently. Grandparents who regularly care for their grand
children should consider purchasing car seats for their vehicle.
Keep these basic car seat safety tips in mind:
All children under age 13 should be buckled up in the back
seat. If it is too difficult to install a seat in the center of the back
seat, try the passenger side of the back seat. Never put a rear
facing car seat in front of an active airbag. The back is safer for
all children
Choose a car seat that fits both the child and the vehicle
Remember to refer to the car seat manufacturer’s instructions
and the vehicle owner’s manual to ensure that the seat is being
used and installed correctly
Avoid purchasing a second-hand seat. The seat history is usu
ally unknown. Like helmets, child safety seats were designed
only to protect in one crash. If given a seat, even with a known
history, check to see that instructions are included, all parts are
present and working properly. Be sure the seat has not been re
called (check at nhtsa.gov or carseat.org)
Become familiar with the seat and practice putting it in the car
before the grandchild arrives
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for exact figures and
directions on how to install and use the child safety seat
All adults should also remember to wear their seat belt and
serve as a positive role model.
Spread the message, “We love you, buckle up!”
Grandparents who wish to have their grandchild(ren)’s car seat
checked should contact Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway
Safety’s Web site at: http://www.gahighwaysafety.org/
stations.html.

Being a Person of Encouragement
In the Bible, the book of Acts tells of a man named Joseph who was surnamed
Barnabas by the apostles which means, Son of Encouragement. He was a Levite, and
he sold a field which belonged to him, and brought the money to be shared with the
apostles. (Acts 4:36) What a nice thing to have been considered a “person of encour
agement”, especially since there were so many adverse things happening to the apostles
at that time. There will always be concerns and negativity in the world, and the way we
deal with our own hardships and difficulties, will in part, determine our happiness and
peace of mind. We should also be aware of our actions and conversations with others,
because they are affected by the way we interact with them. Being kind, truthful, and
i encouraging to others is a reflection of God’s love toward us. We are what we profess
1 with our lips, and when we are hopeful and uplifting to those in whom we come in con
tact, we are also encouraging ourselves.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering... but encouraging one
another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
R.S.V. Hebrews 10:23-25
