- Be cautious when letting your child ride her tricycle. Keep them on the sidewalk and away from the street and make sure they are wearing a helmet.
- Watch your child at all times when he is playing outside.
- Be safe in the water. Teach your child how to swim, but watch them at all times when they are in or around any body of water.
- Teach your child how to be safe around strangers.
