All of the kids will be getting out of school soon and while it will certainly make for a slightly quieter rush hour, it also means that as drivers we’ll need to be more vigilant when we’re out on the road during the day.  In spite of the great emphasis that’s placed on keeping our children safe, the bottom line is that kids are just kids and they forget sometimes to do all the right things.  As drivers it’s our responsibility to make sure that a little forgetfulness from a four year old doesn’t cost them everything.

And roads are not the only things.  If you don’t have a truly kick-butt safety fence and alarm system for your swimming pool, you have to do something about that.  Swimming pool safety is another place where a little mistake can have simply brutal consequences and again – it falls to us to make our children safe….and our friends kids and neighbors kids too.

Finally, just another note on summer safety for kids. While the consequences – on the surface – are not as dire as a traffic accident or drowning, it’s important to make sure that your kids are wearing lots of sunscreen.  Yes – I too went through my childhood without sunscreen and only rarely suffered very, very slight burns, but now I can burn badly – so something has changed.
