Summertime fun has arrived! From BBQ’s, to beach and pool fun make sure you’re thinking safety! It’s easy to think sunshine but forget the sun block and the kiddos end up with a burn or heat stroke. Even blisters from sand or sidewalks on little tender feet are possible, I know because it happened to me as child!

Visit some of these helpful resources to help make your summertime safer and more enjoyable!

Safe Kids offers advice, tips and additional resources and guides for parents with children of all ages.

Sun Safety for Kids offers videos, recommendations and tips for helping to keep your child safe this summer. A wonderful resource for providers as well!

Kids Health offers tips for how to handle those wasp and bee stings because they do happen and it is good to be prepared!

American Academy of Pediatrics offers many summertime safety tips and links for resources, a wonderful site to visit for an abundance of information!

Keep Kids Healthy is a great resource to help you learn how to keep your child safe this summer from spoiled food. Tips on packing lunches, how long food can stay out and what to look for and avoid.

Enjoy your summer and come on out, give us a call and join us for all of our summer 2010 scheduled events! We’d love if you printed this and posted it at your local playgroup, grocery store or library!

About

Funded with a grant from the Early Childhood Investment Corporation of the State of Michigan and the Kellogg Foundation, our project began in April of 2006. The goal of the project is to form multiple collaborative bodies in the state to begin development of a comprehensive system of early childhood care and education for 0-5 year olds and their families. This system is similar to the Smart Start system of North Carolina and the state of Michigan is receiving technical assistance in our efforts from the state of North Carolina.
