🦺June is National Safety Month!
June is an excellent time to teach kids the basics of summertime safety. A few reminders:
- Always supervise kids around water, even if they know how to swim.
- Sunscreen is essential! Reapply every 2 hours, and after swimming or sweating.
- Always wear helmets on bikes and scooters!
- Stranger safety and setting clear boundaries help keep summer adventures safe.
💧Summer Hydration
Hot days mean our bodies need more water, so let’s make it fun!
- Let kids pick out their water bottles.
- Add fruit slices for flavor (and fun STEAM discussions!).
- Encourage plenty hydration breaks during play and travel.
🪼Bites & Stings
As always, it’s vital to stay mindful of wildlife. Read up on the local critters and keep an eye out for dangerous signs or symptoms.
