You will meet Pamela Weinberg, co-author of the best-selling New York City parenting resource guide, City Baby. Pamela will sign her new book and will also speak about 10 Great Fall Things 
to Do in NYC. This talk, created specifically for babybites, will give NYC parents (and expectant parents) the inside track on fun things to do in and around New York City with kids. From apple picking to theater, Pamela will give parents the best of the best for the fall.
City Baby’s fourth edition (September, 2010) is the most comprehensive guide book for New York City parents from pregnancy to preschool. The book includes information for expectant and new parents that will take them through everything they need to know about having a baby in New York City. Topics include: finding childcare, purchasing maternity and baby clothing, hiring a pediatrician, outfitting your layette and baby’s room, even where to find the best bathrooms in New York. Parents will learn how to plan their child’s birthday party, find a great playground and library in their neighborhood and which stroller is the best for urban parents. City Baby was initially published in 1997 in New York City and there are currently City Baby editions in Brooklyn, DC, Chicago and Los Angeles.

In this seminar Jill will discuss how, if children are not educated about the importance of telling an adult they trust, the abuse can continue and escalate. Ms. Starishevsky has prosecuted child abuse and sex crimes in New York City for more than a decade. She will speak to us as an author who wants to prevent children from suffering in silence and prevent child sexual abuse through education. Her book is geared to 3- to 10-year old children and was recently featured in Time Out New York Kids.
Did you know that studies show that 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be molested?
In this important seminar parents will:
- Be provided with 10 tips to keep their children safe
- Address 3 big truths about child sexual abuse
- Discuss the cycle of silence
- Learn how to equip children as young as 3-years old how to learn the language and skills that can protect them from sexual predators
Jill Starishevsky is an Assistant District Attorney in New York City, where she has prosecuted hundreds of sex offenders and dedicated her career to seeking justice for victims of child abuse and sex crimes. Outside the courtroom, Jill’s fondness for writing led her to create thepoemlady.com, where she pens personalized pieces. Her mission to protect children, along with her penchant for poetry, inspired My Body Belongs to Me. A mother of two, Jill is also founder of HowsMyNanny.com, a service that enables parents to purchase a license plate for their child’s stroller so the public can report positive or negative nanny observations. Jill is accessible via her website, or by phone at 646-262-7418 and 646-262-7418. Check out a recent book review.

First Aid Training in 20 Minutes!
Learn How to Keep Your Children Safe.
Partners for Safety is proud to announce our newly released Step-By-Step CPR Training Program devoted to helping parents, grandparents, babysitters, friends — everyone — learn, review, and practice the latest CPR techniques and choking first aid for babies and children. As parents we were concerned about recalling what to do in a medical emergency. We realized we weren’t alone. Studies show that memory of CPR skills tends to deteriorate as early as three months after training — even among highly trained professionals like doctors and nurses.

Infant and Child Safety and CPR Course
- Would you know how to administer CPR or the heimlich to your baby/infant should she need it?
- Did you take a Safety & CPR course when you were pregnant but don’t really remember what you learned?
- Are you an expectant or new mom and have never yet taken an infant safety and CPR course?
Please join us as the experts from Baby Be Safe teach us and/or refresh our memories on Infant Safety, CPR, choking, first aid, and babyproofing. This class is intended for moms, dads, nannies, or any body else who watches your baby.
You will learn the skills for prevention, recognition, and treatment for choking (Heimlich), respiratory, and cardiac emergencies (CPR) for infants and children. There will also be hands on practice using infant and children mannequins.
Take advantage of this excellent opportunity to either learn for the first time or to brush up on your infant CPR and first aid skills.
This is a non-certification class taught by licensed American Heart Association instructors.
