The INDEPENDENT, May 2, 2002 Page 13 uxton mother develops “mom-essential” child safety products Kay Green, formerly of Ver nonia and now a resident of Buxton, understands the impor tance of child safety. Every mother’s nightmare is being separated from her child, Green explained, and having a finder not know where the child lives or whom to contact, or be ing in an accident that leaves the parent unable to inform oth ers of their children’s needs. When Green began home- schooling her children, it be came apparent that they need ed ID cards in order to receive the same benefits as public school children. To solve the problem, and have peace of mind when they went out in public, Green developed her own ID cards. Over time, she began to see the importance of these cards for all home- schooled children and began her business venture. Gradually, she expanded the concept to include products that would protect children in a variety of situations, incorporat ing potential needs regarding car seats, strollers, adoptive children, and overnight bags. My Precious Kid will inspire mothers to take time out for their children’s safety.

Most of the attractions we visit (museums, science center, art galleries) want a student ID for discount admission rates. The admission clerk often has no idea what to charge for children who don’t attend a traditional school. A home-school ID card solves the problem nicely.” Green describes her product as “mom-essential.” Just as es sential is her Adoption and Homeschool Resource Center (http://www.preciouskids.org) that offers links to parents who homeschool and/or adopt chil dren.
