Water Safety SummerMeansWater

The difference between life and death is literally heartbeats for children aged 1-4 years old. They can drown in only 20 seconds.

Try to comprehend how small that margin of error is Booking an online appointment or signing for a package can take longer That’s one of the reasons why drowning is a leading cause of death for this age group, as the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports

Here are ways to help keep your children safe around water:

Designate a water watcher for each child

Adults can be standing mere centimeters away from a child who drowns They don’t notice the kid’s distress until too late because they thought someone else was looking after them.

That’s why my number one rule is to dedicate a water watcher for every child. That person needs to accept the role, focus on the child, and maintain eye contact with him or her at all times. This means eliminating distractions, including shutting off their phone and leaving it in a bag, or even a locker

If you are the water watcher, then use this opportunity to be present with your child Don’t risk it! Set boundaries.
