School is just around the corner! Choosing the perfect backpack is a back-to-school tradition - but making sure it fits properly is just as important.

A backpack that’s too heavy or worn incorrectly can lead to shoulder, neck and back pain. To help keep kids comfortable and safe this school year:

✔️ Keep backpacks between 10–20% of your child’s body weight.

✔️ Choose a backpack with two wide, padded straps and multiple compartments.

✔️ Pack heavier items closest to your child’s back.

✔️ Encourage kids to use both shoulder straps and adjust them so the backpack sits snugly in the middle of their back.

✔️ Leave unnecessary items at home to lighten the load.

A few simple adjustments can help protect growing muscles and joints all year long.

Keeping kids safe in the bathroom starts with simple habits that make a big difference. Here are some essentials every parent should know:

🤲 Test the water with your wrist or elbow before they get in
🚫 Use non‑slip mats or strips to prevent slips
🧼 Cover the faucet with a soft cover or washcloth to avoid bumps
🚽 Install toilet‑lid locks and keep bathroom doors closed
🧹 Wipe up splashes and spills right away to prevent falls

Pop Quiz: How long does it take for the temperature inside a car to heat up by 20 degrees?

🔴 60 minutes
🔴 10 minutes
🔴 30 minutes

If you said 10 minutes, you would be correct. The temperature inside a car can increase by 20 degrees in 10 minutes or less, depending on how hot it is outside. On an 80-degree day, the temperature inside a car can soar to 120 degrees in just 20 minutes. Also, children's bodies heat up 3 to 5 times faster than adults, making them especially susceptible to heatstroke and death.

⚠️ Never, ever leave a child alone in a car: Even for a few minutes, even with the windows cracked or if they are asleep.
⚠️ Lock cars: Ensure cars are locked when parked to prevent children from climbing in unattended.
⚠️ Create reminders: Place your phone, wallet, or purse in the backseat as a visual reminder to check before leaving the car.
⚠️ Take Action: If you see a child alone in a car, call 911 immediately.
