July 13, 2007, Newsletter Issue #217: Skateboard Safety
Tip of the Week
If you are nervous about getting your child a skateboard, perhaps you are concerned about his safety. If this is the case, perhaps you can make a deal with him that he can have a skateboard only if he practices certain safety rules, such as wearing a helmet and pads, etc. I believe that certain cities even offer skateboard safety classes. If he doesnīt follow the rules, then he will not be able to keep the skateboard. If this isnīt OK with him, then he will have to do without the skateboard. If there are other reasons that you donīt want him to have a skateboard, address those issues, and try to establish rules about them as well. For example, homework has to be done each day before the skateboard comes out. This way you should be able to reach a compromise where your son can have his skateboard and you can rest easily.
