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. With a

Christine Nicholls of Cre
ative Kids at Home said, “...
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.”
