Why kids are more vulnerable to chemicals…
Children are much more sensitive than adults to chemicals in the environment. Exposure to a chemical that causes no discernible effect in an adult can cause significant harm to an infant. Some reasons for this include:
Children frequently have their hands in their mouths, making it more likely that they will ingest toxins with which they come in contact.
Children have a faster metabolism — pound for pound, children eat more food and breathe more air than adults.
Children play on the floor, where many toxins in the home settle.
Children's metabolic pathways are immature, and they are less able to detoxify and excrete toxins that get into their system.
Children are undergoing rapid development, and organ systems that are disrupted while in the middle of growing may fail to form correctly.
Children have more years for toxins to accumulate in their bodies and reach unsafe levels.

Watkins all-natural, plant-based homecare products are the perfect solution. Children really are the heart of the Green movement and doesn't it really come down to doing what is best for our kids?
