Do Keep Her Child By Her Grandparents Would Reduce The Risk Of Injury

Give her child to keep his grandparents rather than another type of care as the nurse or crib, reduces the risk of injury in children. According to researchers at Johns Hopskins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the risk of childhood injuries are also higher among those whose parents are not married, or in those whose fathers do not live in the house.

Published in the November issue of the journal Pediatrics, the study is one of the first to examine the relationship between injury rates of children and the custody of grandparents. It highlights a reduced rate of injury when the child is kept at the grandparents rather than in a nursery or with a nanny.

Researchers from Johns Hopskins Bloomberg School of Public Health also showed that the rate of injury is influenced by family type in which the child develops (without consideration of income). Unmarried parents or a father away from home increases the rate of childhood injury.

This study focused on analyzing data collected during the National Evaluation of the Healthy Steps for Young Children Program, based on more than 5,500 newborns followed for 30 to 33 months in 15 U.S.
