Water is a special danger for young children. A child can drown in seconds, Even kids who have taken swimming lessons arc at danger. Never leave a young child alone near water. Most chil dren underage 5 don't have the think ing skills and muscle maturity needed in an unsafe sutuation. Children can lose consciousness in 2 seconds, be fore they even sense they are drown ing. Expert also say that young chil dren rarely make enough noise to alert someone. Most don't make a splash or cry, they just sink quickly. Fire work safety is also vital as the 4th of July arrives. Fireworks present a very serious safety hazard for chil dren. Deaths, Windings, lost fingers and hands and severe burns have been all too often the result of fire works misuse. Examples of acci dents to children: A 2-ycar-old boy received burns to the eye when ran into a lighted hand fountain held by his sister. A 5-year-old boy was badly burned after another small child ig nited the sleeve of his shirt with a sparkler after an argument. The boy ran home, further spreading fire. GROWING UP Your three year old hasn't done a thing you asked all day. Every time you tell her to do something, she refuses and wants to do it her way. Sound like any of your children? It's normal. Young children need to learn by themselves how to have some control over their own lives. We can help children do that by teaching them decision-making skills. Children need to have practice in making choices. Parents can begin doing this very early in life by giving children safe choices, within limits. For example, when getting dressed, ask your child if she would rather wear the green top or the red one. Ask her if she would like to brush her teeth before the story or after the story. The trick for parents is to only give choices that are within your lim its. If you ask, "Are you ready for bed?" The answer is likely to be "No." If instead you ask "Would you like to read or listen to music before bed?" They will be able to make a choice and are more likely to do what you ask. Making decisions is part of grow ing up. Children teel good about themselves when they have some NEW EDUCATION COORDINATOR HIRED Tryna Muilenbcrg of Con all is has been selected as our new Education Coordinator for Head Start. Tryna will be starling on June 6th so she can visit classrooms and teachers for a few days before those staff who go on furlough leave on June 16th.
