When making up the cot for your baby always short sheet the bed i.e make the bed down the end of the cot with the blankets and sheets shorter.This will help to ensure your baby does not wriggle down under the covers and potentially suffocate.

We live in a country area and it’s easy to get a little too lax about how safe it can be for our children. We don’t assume anything AND make sure that we provide written notification to our bus driver about any changes to their usual routine. Once they got left at school based on a mis-communication. We also communicate diligently with the school so that they know exactly what is happening at all times. I would rather give them more information than they need than not enough. Hopefully then, anything suspicious or out of the ordinary would cause alarm bells to ring rather than the wrong assumption being made that everything is alright. It’s sad but you just can’t be too careful when it comes to the safety and wellbeing of children and teens.

Never let children ride their bikes around the streets, if they do want to go around the block or to the corner store, jump on your bike and go for a ride with them. oh and never ever is it acceptable that children use their bikes, skateboards or scooters without a proper fitted helmet.

Never leave any of the children unsupervised in the pool area. Also, when swimming is finished, we always make sure we take the ladder off (so little ones can’t climb in) and secure the gate properly.

After filling the bath, turn the cold tap on full for a second or two. This will cool down the faucet so the children won’t get burnt if they touch it.

When using the stove, remember to keep all pot and pan handles turned toward the back of the stove.

What a great prize!
My tip is to encourage older, unsupervised children wanting their independence in the bath/shower to sing so that you can hear that they are OK and haven’t slipped over or anything in the bath or shower without you hearing them..
