Four tips to stay safe this summer BY KATHY RIGGS

USU Extension professor

Many families are heading outdoors for one last outing before school starts. Whether in the water or hills, on the ballfield or in the backyard, it’s essential to keep family members safe from sun, insects, and injuries. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website includes information on family health. A summary of their tips for staying safe is included below. For additional information, visit https://www.cdc.gov/healthequity/ features/kidsafety/index.html. 1. Master water safety. Swimming is a great way to cool off and get exercise; however, drowning is the leading cause of death among children ages 1 to 4. Supervise children at all times when in or around water. Teach kids to swim so they feel comfortable and confident in the water. Help prevent water illnesses. Talk to children about not using the pool as a toilet, encourage bathroom breaks, and change toddlers’ diapers often. Install a four-sided fence around home pools. While boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, or other water sports, make sure everyone wears a properly fitted life jacket. 2. Be sun smart. Even healthy children and adults can overheat or get sunstroke when participating Please see SAFETY, Page A2
