| Because six of every ten accidental deaths happen to Chinese children who are playing, Shanghai Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical (SJJP), a US-based pharmaceutical(制藥的) giant, is  working on a Safe Kids Program to prevent injuries and deaths. Since the Safe Kids Worldwide was set up in 1987 by Johnson & Johnson in the US, it has contributed to a nearly 40 percent decline in the child death rate from accidental injuries there. Learning from the successful experience, SJJP began the Safe Kids Program in China in 1999. A recent survey conducted by SJJP and Safe Kids Worldwide China indicates that more than half of the responding parents didn't know how to help their children keep safe and that half of the parents didn't know about their children's motor skill development at different ages. The survey covered 3,359 Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou's parents with children between infancy(嬰幼年) and 14. Additionally, more than 40 percent of the parents didn't know how to help their children to prepare well for sports activities. For example, they don't know how to have their children warm up or realize the importance of a playground-check before sports activiti  es.To help correct the problems, SJJP and Safe Ki  ds Worldwide China have been translating and editing safety education materials, sending them to parents free of charge, and delivering free lectures in kindergartens, schools and communities for the last ten years. At present, a special team has been set up an  d traveling around 12 key cities of China to popularize child sports safety knowledge and offer free training for young parents. Though SJJP refuses to say how much it has spent on the program, it says the number in terms of money, staff and technology, is large. Title: Safe Kids Pr ogram
