[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 32507, member: 3419"] Dreamer and all, my husband is a chiropractor, and the most common injuries he sees in kids are those who have flipped off a trampoline and fallen, or who have half-fallen onto the outside rim. We have several neighbors who have trampolines and we only allow difficult child to play on those with-netted "walls." They make a huge diff. If any of you have trampolines, the walls are worth the extra $. We explained it to the neighbors and one family came up with-the idea to supervise the kids so only 3 can jump at a time. (Instead of investing in wall nets, they bought another Gameboy disc. Go figure.) Still, that cuts down on the roughhousing and tendency to want to shove the littlest person off, either deliberately for fun, or accidentally because they're too small to hold their place with-all that motion. It's always a good idea to supervise that sort of thing. In re: to how that relates to smoking, it's kind of the same thing... you can't tell people what do to in their own homes but you can tell the friends and neighbors why you don't want your kids playing there (in a nice, non-threatening way) or, your kids will suggest that the other kids come over to their houses. We've got several kids who don't like to come to our house because they're afraid of our dogs. We usually put one in the kitchen kennel and put the other one outside. As the kids are getting older and taller, they are less afraid and it's less of a problem. [/QUOTE]
