Sunscreen? Check. Water bottle? Check. Summer safety and first aid? Coming right up!
Children who are prepared for injuries to themselves or others are more confident during an emergency, may be less likely to panic, and may think twice before getting into an unsafe situation. Talk about what makes a situation unsafe, what to do if they or a friend have been hurt and what to do if they don't feel safe.
