☆ Are trampolines safe for kids? A doctor explains
  + stars: | 2024-09-17 | by ( Katia Hetter | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
The American Academy of Pediatrics issued a statement in 2012 to strongly recommend against the use of recreational trampolines in kids. Jumpers on the same apparatus increases injury risk, especially for the smallest individuals, according to the AAP. The report also found that injuries from full-size trampolines had a six times higher risk of requiring surgery compared with injuries from mini-size trampolines. Stay close to your child and instruct them not to try dangerous maneuvers like flips. If our kids do go to a home that has trampolines, we try to steer them away from the trampoline.

Inverted, they spin on one or both hands or on their heads, legs spiraling. Upright, they bound into the air, as if off trampolines, ball up their bodies and rapidly rotate in high-flying arcs. What for other dancers might be show-off steps are integrated into a poetic vision, a different way of being. Like all the works the company has performed in New York, this is very much an ensemble piece. For 75 minutes, its 18 dancers never leave the stage.

On Tuesday, the Pilbara Port Authority said it was clearing boats from all berths in the inner harbor of the Port Hedland port, and urged recreational boat owners to secure their vessels.

When their kids were young, Jeff and Leslie Fuller set up an allowance system that involved taxes. When Jeff shared his unconventional plan with his wife, Leslie Fuller, she loved the idea, and together they implemented the system. Unlike many of their peers, Danielle and Sami didn't beg and harass their parents to satisfy their every whim. These kinds of stories illustrate Danielle's description of her parents' system as "cradle-to-grave financial literacy."
