Snow Bank Danger: Children Hard To See

Posted by admin in young children , winter , walking to school , students , middle school , kids , elementary school , children , cars , advice

Tell your children to never enter the street from between high snow banks.  Drivers won’t be able to see a child until they are in the street.  At that point it could be too late and a child could get run over.

Never Skate Alone

Posted by admin in winter , sports , skating , safety , play , parenting , middle school , kids , high school , elementary school , children

When skating outdoors, make sure your child skates with at least one other person. Kids that skate alone could fall through the ice and drown. There would be no one to save them.

Sledding Correctly

Posted by admin in winter , sledding , safety

When sledding, have kids lie on their backs and go feet first down the slope. Another safe way is sitting face forward on the sled. Either approach will greatly reduce the risk of head injuries.

Sledding Safety

Posted by admin in winter , sledding , safety

When sledding on a hill, make sure the land at the bottom is safe. It should be either fenced in so a sled won't go into the street or have plenty of space to stop without entering the street. It should also be free of trees and other obstacles since an out of control sled could slam into them causing serious bodily injury.
