Medical alert jewelry for healthy kids

Medical alert jewelry is vital for children with serious medical conditions. But what of kids who are by-and-large healthy? Who may have issues and sensitivities, but not critical ones. Do these kids need medical ID jewelry?

Perhaps. Some type of identification is certainly advisable, for the child's security and the parents' peace of mind.

Consider:

	Every day, more than 3,600 children go missing from their caregivers. That's one every 24 seconds - or 1,315,600 in a year's time (OJJDP, 2002).
	Every day, more than 39,000 children are injured seriously enough to require medical treatment. That's more than 14 million children each year (National SAFE KIDS Campaign, 2002).

Kids are natural risk-takers. And wanderers - visiting parks, sporting events, malls, zoos, and beaches, as well as friends and relatives. We love their energy and freedom, but also worry.

Medical ID jewelry offers "just in case" security. This is protection you hope is never needed. But it's there just in case something goes wrong...a problem arises or an accident happens...in case your child is hurt or lost.

ID jewelry accompanies your child so that you can be notified immediately in case of trouble. Regardless of whether your child is conscious...or coherent (stress can cause the mind to blank).

Medical ID jewelry adds another level of protection, making relevant medical information - from minor allergies to blood type - instantly available. So better decisions can be made.

That's security for your child, and reassurance for you.
