Summer Safety Tips
Although you should make every effort to keep your kids safe year-round, it is especially important in the summer when most kids are out of school.Hot temperatures and more time spent outdoors, perhaps unsupervised, can put kids' health and safety at risk, leading to a lot of accidents and tragedies this time of year.
The most obvious hidden dangers in the summer simply have to do with the heat and can include:
-Heat stress and heat stroke, which can be prevented. Keep kids well-hydrated, take frequent breaks when playing outside, and watch for symptoms such as thirst, cramps, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, headaches, and fever.
-Getting burned on metal slides or other hot playground equipment.
-Sunburns--although parents should be aware of the risks of not applying sunscreen or sunblock on their children, sunburns are still common (especially if lotions are not used properly.)
-Never leaving a child unattended in a car, even for a few minutes, as a car can get hot quickly, and be sure to always lock your car and secure your keys so that your kids can't play in your car and get trapped inside.
Many families try to escape the summer heat in a pool or nearby lake. To keep your kids safe around the water be sure to:
-Childproof your pool by enclosing it in a fence with a self-closing and self-latching gate.
-Supervise your kids around the pool, even if they know how to swim.
-Have children who don't know how to swim wear a life vest instead of "floaties" when they are in the pool.
-Always have your child wear a life vest when on a lake or river, even if they know how to swim.
-Take your child to swimming lessons once he or she is four to five years old, the age when most kids can learn to swim.
In addition to using sunscreen, supervising kids around water, and protecting your kids from the heat, you can keep your kids safe this summer by:
-Using insect repellents when necessary.
-Doing a daily tick check if your kids have been playing outdoors, especially in or near wooded areas.
-Outfitting your kids with appropriate protective gear, such as a helmet and pads, when they ride a bicycle, skateboard, or scooter, or while wearing Heelys.
