In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain some child safety tips. Sometimes its hard to keep your kid safe because they move so fast and are very slippery when they are wet. But here are some of the easy things you can do…Teach your kid to swim at a very young age. Now I’m not talking swimming lessons to make them the next Michael Phelps, I’m talking survival swim lessons, so they don’t drown if they accidentally fall into a pool, jacuzzi or bathtub. When you are teaching your child to ride his/her bike explain the importance of braking without crashing into things. In the car always buckle up – and make sure your kids know its never a good idea to thrown things in the car – a thrown object can distract the driver or the object can get stuck under the brake pedal under the drivers feet. Little kids also shouldn’t be handling lit fireworks. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
