It is terrible to think about, but tragedies can happen to anyone.
According to Safe Kids Worldwide, a child dies from heatstroke in a vehicle every 10 days. More than half of those children were forgotten by a caring adult who became distracted.
You won't forget your phone, so put it or your purse or backpack in the back seat with your child.
Teens today are often as busy as any ambitious adult. Up at dawn, they march through classes seeking outstanding grades, tackle multiple sports and hobbies after school, and pitch in with chores at home when they're not hunched over homework.
In between, they try to keep up with friends, avoid bullying, make sense of their crushes—and decide what they’re meant to do with their lives.
No pressure, right?
We’re kidding ourselves if we don’t think teens struggle with stress, just like adults, but with fewer resources to help them cope.
Playing outdoors is a great way for kids to be active, build physical and social skills and get their dose of vitamin D from the sun. And after what seemed like endless rain this winter, it just feels good.
But outdoor activities can also lead to injuries. Some, like cuts, bruises, and broken bones, can heal. But others, like head injuries, can cause lasting effects.
