4 Summer Safety Tips for Your Family

Summer is a great time of year. There is no homework stress, sports leagues are limited, and there is more daylight to play in. But with all of this comes some extra safety responsibility. I've put together some simple reminders to keep your family safe while you enjoy all that June, July, and August have to offer.

1 - Stay hydrated. The body is over 80% water and we need to constantly be replenishing the supply, particularly in the heat of the summer. Cornell University offers great tips on how to stay hydrated, the easiest one though is to drink until your urine is pale yellow or clear. If you are doing that, then you are properly hydrated. Make sure the babies and toddlers drink up too.

2 - Teach pool safety. Swim lessons are not drowning prevention. If you will be around a pool this summer, whether it is your own, a friend's, or a relative's, then make sure your kids know the rules. A good rule of thumb is you should be no more than 20 seconds away from your kids any time a pool or other body of water is near by. Always agree with the other available adults who will specifically be responsible for monitoring the pool.

3 - Pool safety isn't just for kids though - make sure the adults know the rules too. No drinking and swimming. These two things just don't mix. And obviously, I mean the adult beverages. I want you to drink water to stay hydrated. Alcohol is dehydrating and will impair your judgment.

4 - Be aware of firework danger. Most states only allow you to buy "fireworks" that stay on the ground. It is best to leave the big sky fireworks to the professionals. They are properly equipped to handle loose works or to control damages. No matter what you do, remember to keep either a fire extinguisher handy or a really large bucket of water.

I know there are so many more things you can do to keep your summer safe, but I couldn't possibly list them all here. What tips do you have to keep your family safe this summer?

    In summer, I also tell all my family not to forget the sunblock to avoid sunburns, blisters and eventually skin cancer... Moreover, we also get the insect repellent out for where we live the mosquitoes can transmit diseases like dengue, paludism, chikungunya...

    I would like to comment point 1 of your list... I don't want to say that water is not important, but most of the people don't know that before they decide to drink 2 liters of water per day, they have to consult the opinion of a kidney specialist, because it seems not to be healthy for all the people...
