Summer Safety Tips for Children

Summer is here with the promise of sunshine and holidays. Fun is on the agenda, so we have attached a few links to summer safety tips.

Sunshine safety for infants is important and here are some tips on Infant Sun Protection, as well Sun Fun colouring posters and sing-a-long songs as well as information on Sun Myths from the BC Cancer Prevention Site.

Parent Central, Canada has an informative article on foods that can pose choking risks, entitled Redesign the Hot Dog - well worth a read.

Have fun and happy holidays!
