Do you children participate in sports... Read THIS!  

No, I've never thought of eye protection, and in ways you could argue that wearing safety glasses could cause more harm than good. The edges of the glasses could be shoved into the child's head causing bleeding and cuts and wounds, and perhaps worse damage to the eye.
The way the "experts" are going, they'll soon have kids out in the fields wearing complete body armor, to the point the child won't even be able to move!

Sometimes kids just need to scrape their knees and get cuts and wounds, it's part of being a kid.

Funny thing is, just this past weekend I was at the ER with my 5 year old for a huge bump he'd gotten just above his eye... but it wasn't from a sports accident. He was just playing in the yard and tripped and fell and his head hit the pedal of a bike. He's fine of course.

Yes our kids all competed in sports, thank goodness none of them were badly hurt, though my daughter still suffers from her swimming injuries. My oldest daughter stills keep score for high school swimming and works as a volunteer for the band.
I know that sports are danagerous, but life is that way and the children do learn
things that help them in the grown up world.

my children are all grown now but they played every sport we had. i have a grandson that i think will play evrything to. i think they should have every kind of equipment there is for protection. it should be made a rule for them to have it.

They actually have the helmet with the guard for football. I don't think that they could see anything if they wore anything else on their eyes for protection.

I do know where you are coming from. I have one boy who is in 11th grade and he plays football, wrestles and weight lifting. My 9th grader plays football, basketball and weight lifting. My 9th grader broke his finger last year in football. It was horrible. He had surgery that didn't take so had to have it again. I have seen many boys with broken bones due to their sports.

I do, however, think that kids who participate in sports are less likely to be kids who get into trouble. They are well rounded kids who have very good work ethics and alot of that is attributed to them playing sports.
