• Try to use a mower with a control that stops the mower from moving forward if the handle is let go.
• Children younger than 16 years should not be allowed to use ride-on mowers. Children younger than 12 years should not use walk-behind mowers.
• Make sure that sturdy shoes (not sandals or sneakers) are worn while mowing.
• Prevent injuries from flying objects, such as stones or toys, by picking up objects from the lawn before mowing begins.  Have anyone who usese a mower wear hearing and eye protection.
• Do not pull the mower backward or mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary, and carefully look for children behind you when you mow in reverse.
• Always turn off the mower and wait for the blades to stop completely before removing the grass catcher, unclogging the discharge chute, or crossing gravel paths, roads or other areas. 
• Do not allow children to ride as passengers on ride-on mowers.

Please make sure that your children are protected from sunburn, dehydration and accidental drowning. Apply sunscreen regularly and as the instructions indicate. Use the highest SPF available. Make sure that your children are drinking plenty of water, sodas are not good hydrators. Make sure they take breaks and come inside to cool off frequently. Never leave your child unattended while at a pool, not even a wading pool.

Please make sure you are taking all of the necessary precautions to keep your child safe this summer.

Sunscreen at all times when outside playing and re-applying often. Your children sweat and off goes the protection.

Bike safety.  Make sure your child is wearing his/her helmet at all times while on a bike.

TV and video games VS outside play time!  Get out and enjoy the sun! Get active and save the games to a limited amount of evening time, after dinner and family time... :)

Make sure that any time your children are out riding their bikes that they have on all of their protective gear, especially their helmet. Head injuries can be very devastating, take the time to keep them safe.
