encouraged.

Kentucky schools are encouraged to include a segment concentrating on the prevention of

pediatric abusive head trauma, as defined in KRS 620.020, during a student's final year of

study at Kentucky high schools. Important areas of concentration for this segment would

include information related to the prevention and recognition of pediatric abusive head

trauma. This segment should also suggest methods of calming crying infant s, techniques

for caregivers to use to calm themselves when confronted with an infant that is crying

inconsolably, and a discussion relating to selecting responsible care providers for infant

children.
