ABOUT
Mrs. Metcalf introduced me to her babysitter, Ms. Long. I thought Ms. Long was the right person I needed for my research because she had many years of expertise in dealing with parents and children.
MS.
Ms. Long has ran a daycare center for 14 years. She told me that hot car incidents mostly happen because of a change in routine.
LONG
Ms. Long told me about the procedures she has to take when picking up and dropping off kids, her ideas for a possible solution, and professional advice for parents with children.
TYPICAL ROUTINE
Why has the incident rate increased over the years?
-
When it is summer, people change their routines to fit in vacations or other things.
-
Consumer Reports states that more than 20 children have died in the U.S since early February of this year (from 5 months-4 years old).

My teachers, Mr. and Mrs. Metcalf, were kind enough to give me a video of their morning routine. Their video is posted below.
