As a pediatrician and a parent, I approach the question of gun ownership by focusing on general safety. I ask about guns at the same time as I inquire about car seats, pools, and food allergies. “Without judgment, wondering if you have any guns in your home? If so, I would ask that they are locked up and stored safely. Also, we don’t have any food or pet allergies. Looking forward to getting together!”

“We should talk about traffic safety whenever walking around the streets with our children, or even cruising in a stroller. You can start by pointing out different traffic signs — first just as shapes and colors, then as they age, discussing their meaning.”
