abstract="Unintentional injury prevention research focuses on parental supervision as critical to reducing toddler injury. We examine how the promotion of childproofing-as a mode of supervision-sells mothers &quot;peace of mind&quot; while also increasing &quot;intensive mothering&quot; and the &quot;privatization of risk.&quot; Drawing on the childproofing literature and meaning centered interviews with mothers of toddlers and childproofing business owners, we argue that the connection made by these groups between childproofing and &quot;good parenting&quot; ultimately obscures how this form of harm reduction economically and socially individualizes responsibility for child care.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
