Why Helmets are important ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ›ด

โ˜€๏ธ During the summer kids should be outside playing, riding bikes, scooters, rollerblading, skateboarding and all other fun outdoor activities. Lets help them have fun safely!

โ›‘๏ธ Safety Tip: Make sure the helmet fits snugly, sits level on the head, and always buckle the strap!

๐Ÿ›ด When to Wear a Helmet: Biking, skateboarding, rollerblading, riding a scooter, skiing, or horseback riding.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Protect the headโ€”protect their future.

โ€ผ๏ธWe will repost these lifesaving water safety tips EVERY summer!

Drowning is the number 1 cause of death in kids ages 1-4 after birth defects. Here are some helpful tips to keep kids safe near the water:

๐Ÿ‘ถ 1. Always Supervise
Never leave children unattended near waterโ€”even for a moment. Stay within arm's reach, especially for babies and toddlers.

๐ŸŠ 2. Use Life Jackets
U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets are a must for boating, lakes, and even pool time for less experienced swimmers. Arm floaties and other water toys do not replace life jackets.

๐Ÿšซ 3. No Substitutes for Supervision
Floaties and water toys are NOT life-saving devices. Active, undistracted adult supervision is essential. Make sure some is assigned to watching and knows they are the one assigned. Multiple people "watching" at once, increases risk for distraction.

๐Ÿ“ฑ 4. Ditch the Distractions
Avoid using phones or reading while kids are in or near water. Do not multitask while you are on "watch duty."

๐Ÿงผ 5. Teach Water Rules
Kids should learn to never run near pools, never push others in, and always ask permission before getting in the water.

๐Ÿ– 6. Choose Swim Areas Wisely
Stick to lifeguard-supervised pools or beaches when possible. Most drownings in kids under the age of 4 happen in home swimming pools.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿซ 7. Enroll in Swim Lessons
Children as young as 1 can begin water safety and swim lessons to build confidence and skills.

๐Ÿšช 8. Secure Your Pool
Install a 4-sided fence with a self-latching gate and use pool alarms if possible.

๐Ÿง  9. Know CPR
Be prepared. Knowing CPR can be invaluable to help in an emergency until emergency services arrive.

๐Ÿ’ฆ 10. Pool Alarms
Drowning is silent, alarms help notify if someone unexpectedly goes into the pool.

๐ŸŒž Warmer weather is hereโ€” so is strong UV exposure! ๐ŸŒž

A few simple habits can help keep kids safe from sunburns while they enjoy the sunshine. ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ๐Ÿ–๏ธ
โœ”๏ธ Apply SPF 15+ sunscreen 15-30 minutes before heading outside
โœ”๏ธ Reapply every 2 hours (and after swimming!)
โœ”๏ธ Wear hats, sunglasses, and lightweight protective clothing
โœ”๏ธ Keep water bottles handy to stay hydrated ๐Ÿ’ง
โœ”๏ธ Take shade breaks during the hottest part of the day

โ˜€๏ธ Even one severe sunburn during childhood can increase the risk of skin cancer later in life.

๐ŸŒฟ Tick Season Is Here! ๐Ÿ•ท๏ธ

As the weather warms up, kids are spending more time outdoors, increasing the risk of tick bites happening! While most tick bites are harmless, some ticks carry illnesses that can be spread to humans through a bite.

The best way to prevent tickborne illnesses is to reduce exposure to ticks.

โœ”๏ธ Help prevent tick bites:
โ€ข Use child-safe insect repellent
โ€ข Wear long sleeves/pants in wooded areas
โ€ข Shower after outdoor activities
โ€ข Check your pets for tick bites

โœ”๏ธPlaces to check after being outside:
โ€ข Behind the ears
โ€ข Scalp and hairline
โ€ข Under arms
โ€ข Around the waist and between the begs
โ€ข Behind knees

If you find a tick:
โœ… Remove it promptly with fine-tipped tweezers
โœ… Clean the area with soap and water
โœ… Watch for fever, rash, or flu-like symptoms

If you have concerns about a tick bite or symptoms after one, contact our office โ€” weโ€™re here to help and answer any questions you may have โ˜€๏ธ
