I Hear, I See, I Speak!

I just found these very useful tips on how to keep your child safe on a health magazine. I hope you find this useful too.

►Always keep medicines in a locked cupboard, out of the reach of children.

►Never tell that the medicine is a candy just to convinced them. Even if it tastes good. Your kids will thought that it is okay for them to drink or to take it without your permission since you told them that medicines are just like candies that you can eat anytime.

►Never leave hazardous substances unattended when they are within reach of children.

►Never store substances such as polishes and bleach in a place accessible to children.

►Teach your child not to run into street between parked cars. This is the most common cause of accidents involving children.

►Don’t let children play at construction sites at any time. They can be injured or killed.

►Teach your child to be wary of strangers, especially in summer months when parks are crowded.

►Don’t buy too fancy a bike for your child; it will attract thieves.

►Be Careful of Open Windows. Install window guards.

►Talk over possible dangerous situations with your child before they happen, and decide on the safest behavior. Have fire drills in your house too.

Overall, it is all about responsible parenting that all parents should practice.
