We continue our journey toward health and wellness. It is always wise to review safety with our children. They really do need reminders. A baby or toddler can drown in about 1 inch of water. Nearly every week a baby or toddler drowns in a five gallon bucket.
Small children drown silently and in less than one minute.
Adult supervision is all-important . Never leave a child alone around water, even for a minute, in the bath, or near buckets, pools, spas, lakes or streams. Always immediately empty water from 5 gallon buckets after use. Children are vulnerable to the risk of pedestrian death because they are exposed to traffic threats that exceed their cognitive, developmental, behavioral, physical and sensory abilities . Most of the people injured from trampolines are children ages 5-14 years .
