BABYSITTER'S HANDBOOK

The Babysitter's Handbook can help you learn about the responsibilities involved in being a good babysitter. Use the handbook when taking the Babysitter's Training Course and then take it with you whenever you babysit. The handbook contains information and fun activities to help you learn about:

Safety and Safe Play - Should they really play with that toy? When is it okay to play outside? Learn how to prevent injuries by watching out for safety-related problems and fixing them.
Leadership - How do you have fun with the kids and still stay in control? Find out the best ways to negotiate, mediate, and encourage positive behavior.
Basic Care - Feeding and diaper changing can be, well, kind of messy. Learn how to handle these situations, and other babysitting basics, like a pro!
Professionalism - What should you ask during a babysitting interview? What do you need to know to have a safe and responsible babysitting experience? How should you act when you are "on the job"? We'll teach you how to put your best babysitter food forward in all situations.
First Aid - Every babysitter needs to know what to do if an accident happens. Get straightforward advice on how to manage everything from scrapes and bruises to life-threatening emergencies.

FIRST AID FAST

First Aid Fast is an illustrated quick-reference guide that provides first aid essentials. Well organized and easy to use, it provides step-by-step guidance for the following emergencies: breathing emergencies, cardiac emergencies, injuries to muscles, bones, and joints; poisonings; and much more!

Sized to fit in your purse or briefcase, glove compartment, desk drawer, backpack, and, of course, your first aid kit. Indispensable for parents, grandparents, family and friends. Also available in Spanish.

HIV/AIDS FACT BOOK

This easy-to-use, 268-page book provides basic information about HIV and AIDS in a question-and-answer format suitable for laypersons and health professionals.

Topics include HIV transmission and prevention; testing; the blood supply; the social impact of HIV infection; first aid, CPR, and aquatics; and children with HIV. A great resource for classrooms, clinics, and other settings. Available in English and Spanish.

THE HUMANITARIAN

The Humanitarian is the national magazine of the American Red Cross. A four-color quarterly, this exciting publication appeals to both experienced Red Crossers and people who are less familiar with the scope of our services and programs. The Humanitarian provides readers with information they can use to improve their own lives and inspires them to get involved in helping the Red Cross enhance and save the lives of others.

Each issue of The Humanitarian contains a compelling photo essay detailing recent newsworthy activities of the Red Cross at home and abroad. Short profiles illustrate the many faces of the organization on a personal, emotionally appealing level, from its individual donors and volunteers to the many people the Red Cross has helped. Feature articles describe how the Red Cross works nationally to combat problems like homelessness and school violence. Other articles showcase innovative Red Cross programs, taking a closer look at practical issues like helping parents find good child care, giving the caretakers of elderly relatives a break and providing summer jobs for youth. Rounding out each issue is "Then and Now," which takes a piece of Red Cross history and contrasts it with our current activities, thus showcasing the ways in which the organization continues to build on its proud tradition.
