Common Sense

Worrying, as most parents can attest to, is part of the job of being a parent. However, when you have a child with epilepsy, worrying takes on new meaning as the potential for harm seems to lurk at every turn. With the summer season upon us, many parents are concerned about water safety and rightly so. Yet, experts agree that exercising common sense, and not fear is the best precaution.
