Ask Non-Toxic Kids, and Guest Writers


Hello, dear readers.

I made a vow this year to connect more with readers. I want to know more about you, hear your comments, and start up a dialogue about how to keep our kids safe and raise them as naturally as possible.

I read every single comment that comes in to this blog, and I try to respond to them directly when I can. I value each one of your thoughts.

I also want to encourage you to send me your questions. I would like to know what is concerning you and I will try answer each one as best I can.

And I'd love to hear from other green mamas (or papas) interested in guest posting here at Non-Toxic Kids. I'm constantly amazed by the wealth and depth of green parent bloggers, and I would love to feature some here.

Please email me at non-toxic-kids(at)comcast(dot)net anytime about guest writing, or your questions.

A few years back, CPSC recalled sidewalk chalk due to a lead-poisoning threat. Now, all chalk gives me the heeby-jeebys! Do you have any info on this sort of thing? My 6 year old received 2 buckets full at her birthday party. I threw out the non-brand, but kept the Crayola. I am assuming this one would be okay, but have yet to let her have at. Any thoughts?

Hi Shelley,

Yikes! That is awful. But when I think of crayons and chalk made who knows where it doesn't surprise me. I think the Crayola would be okay, but maybe I'm just branded. I would email the company. Maybe I could do that and get back to you. Or you could and let me know, and I'll post about it! Thanks for the heads up.
