<p>Author Tony Jaksa Jr. lives in Northern Minnesota with his wife Lori and her dog Charlie. Besides writing children's books and his job in Worker Safety he enjoys hunting fishing and golfing. During his working hours he instructs work teams and students on safe response to the hazards that are inherent to the workplace and works extensively on safety program development procedural updates and worksite compliance.</p><p class=ql-align-justify>Currently Tony is working across the country as the Site Safety & Health Officer (SSHO) on large rehabilitation construction projects in the Hydropower Industry. During his off-work hours he and his wife spend time developing their mission and hobby writing children's picture books on Kids' Safety. Through this effort they hope to find a path to early childhood injury-prevention learning and to help build the next ready-to-work safety generation.</p><p><strong>MISSION STATEMENT:</strong></p><p class=ql-align-justify><em>Our mission is to teach kids what it means when we adults say Be careful. We all say it to our kids but think of what it means to them. Our goal is through a Picture-Book Series and The Kids' Safety Squad website to teach kids what hazards are around them in their daily lives how to recognize these dangers and how to avoid them and in turn to learn what it means to Be Careful.</em></p><p>Stay Safe</p><p>Pops Bug and Bud</p><p><strong>Personal note:</strong></p><p>I have concluded that it's near-criminal to know what we know about injury prevention in the adult safety world and not share that info with our kids. We are tired of what some folks say when kids get hurt - Ah kids will be kids He's a boy - They have to learn. What we need to want to stop is the pain and tears of the little people in our lives.</p><p>Any questions or comments please visit our website Kids'SafetySquad.club.</p><p>-</p><p>Bud on a Roll Book 2 of Kids' Safety Squad learning series is about Bud and Bug learning about eyes on the path they travel. If eyes are elsewhere that's the number-one reason why trips and falls happen. It is the simple concept that if you don't see what is in front of your feet painful things can happen.</p><p>This is a repeated at-risk action that is uncovered every day during injury investigations across our country. Kids can easily learn this lesson early in their lives and maybe prevent the pain from a fall as they play and have fun. Let's give kids an opportunity to start developing one of the most-important safety behaviors Eyes on Path and that will give them a head start to an injury-free life.</p><p>Read a Kids Safety Squad book to one of our young people and share in the discovery of an injury-prevention conversation that will make a difference.</p>
