SUMMER SAFETY CHECK
Summer is the season when most
drownings occur. 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
