School is out and many of us are taking vacations. This often brings changes in your lifestyle or daily routine.
Safety also is about using common sense and taking precautions.
Consider the following tips for preventing illness and injuries during the summer months. Teach your child to wash his or her hands before eating and to cover his or her mouth when coughing or sneezing to prevent the spread of germs. Make sure your child is immunized on schedule against disease. Keep a record of your child s immunizations to have handy for registering for school as well as for extracurricular activities. Keep a list of emergency phone numbers near the telephone.
