Concussions in children and adolescents over 10 years of age are more likely to occur in organized sports than other activities. It is sometimes amazing that our children survive their early childhood.

Besides a post-game recovery regimen of icing, stretching, and cortisone shots, it's time football players have access to "brain rehabilitation" as well.

I was distressed that my daughter was put in the compromised position of not knowing whom to obey: her teacher or her parents.

We have to ask, what is the risk of letting our children participate in contact sports and what can be done to protect them?

Sports can be such a key component to a child's development. We're big supporters of that. But as parents, we're also concerned about the safety of both our boys.

Last week, my ten-year-old son, Mikey, suffered a concussion in third game of his first season of tackle football. I'm in a quandary: do I end tackle football now and forever, or let him play?

The odd juxtaposition between Bob's near-death blast from a roadside bomb and his subsequent recovery against a Mom's simple fall on a bunny slope resulting in death is the very thing that makes brain injury so hard to comprehend.
