injuries when parents put their children in well-fitted car seats. In fact, car seats
reduce the risk of death in an accident by 54%. In 2004, car seats saved 451 lives.

I personally believe that this article has enlightened me about the

importance of installing a car seat. Not many people in Indonesia use
infant car seats. Children often freely move here and there inside the car

even though their parents drive fast. In the countries like the United States,

however, car seat laws are made, which leads me to think that they take
children’s safety in the car very seriously. Thus, I believe, that I, and other
families in Indonesia, should do the same.

2. The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can
cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. Every year in the

United States, on average: 5% to 20% of the population gets the flu; more than
200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications; and about 36,000 people
die from the flu. Some people, such as the elderly, young children, and people
with certain health conditions, are at high risk for serious flu
complications. Complications of the flu can include pneumonia, dehydration,

and worsening of chronic medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure,
asthma, or diabetes. Children may get sinus problems and ear infections.

3. TV has a profound effect on the children and youth of our country. It is a
powerful teacher of many things. When used in moderation, some good things
can be learned from watching TV. Preschool children can get help learning
numbers and letters. Grade-school children and teens can learn about nature,
wildlife, and history. Adults can stay current with the events of the day by

watching the nightly news. Too much TV, however, can have very negative
effects. Research shows that TV contributes to sleep problems, health problems,
behavior problems, and struggles in reading and academics. TV viewing,

especially when done at night, reduces the quality and quantity of a child’s
sleep. Children ages 3 and under who watch TV are at a higher risk of having
both irregular nap and bedtime schedules.
