Whether camping by a lake or playing at the park, keeping toddlers and preschoolers safe is a matter of vigilance and common sense. Children love to spend time outdoors, and so they should.
Outdoor play provides kids with a chance to get exercise and fresh air.
But with toddlers and preschoolers accidents can happen, and it s important to ensure that our children are well protected and supervised. From splashing in a playground wading pool to diving off a dock, one of the greatest outdoor activities for youngsters is water play. But when it comes to young children, water can easily lead to tragedy. They ll throw toys in, then fall in and this often leads to tragedy. Burton says one of best ways of keeping kids water-safe is by having them learn to swim under the guidance of a qualified instructor through a recognized swim program.
