I just read a post on another site where the person questioned whether to put up a "tot-finder" decal in their kid's bedroom windows. These decals save lives. The firefighters will know where to go to rescue your kids. This person was concerned about it advertising the kids location to an abductor.
A national study of child abductions found that 200 to 300 children each year are snatched by a nonfamily member in a foul-play situation, said David Finkelhor, one of the authors of the study.
These figures indicate that up to four times as many children die each year in fires.
Get the decal.
Now, if we can just get parents to stop barricading their kids inside their homes, that would help save a couple more lives. Get up to date window guards or quick release security bars.
Update: I did find one fire department that discourages the use of these stickers. So, what the hell do I know, anyway?
I have found it helpful to do the stretching exercises my physical therapist recommends. Do some core strengthening exercises, such as the ones highlighted at The Mayo Clinic. By keeping your core strong, your back won't put itself in a position to cause that sciatica pain you are having.
