TD ThinkFirst for Kids
Injuries to the brain and spinal cord are the number one killer of kids to age 25, yet nine out of 10 of these incidents are preventable. Teaching kids how to play safely to avoid such injuries is the purpose of TD ThinkFirst for Kids.
Spearheaded by leading Canadian neurosurgeon Dr. Charles Tator, this national injury-prevention initiative is designed for children in junior kindergarten through Grade 8. The free school-based program, sponsored in part by TD, gives teachers the tools to better educate students to 'think first' before engaging in unsafe behaviour. Included are family components called TD ThinkFirst for Families and ThinkFirst At Home - a series of home activities which reinforce the school-based lessons through family and community-based activities.
