Kreated by Bev Lanshe When we think of "kids" we think of days in the park, snowball fights, roller coasters and building sandcastles. We always imagine carefree days of fun and frolicking without concern for dangers and hazards that face todays youth. Not that I want to bring down those wonderful memories, but it's always wise to new and experienced parents to be aware of what can happen. We've all heard the dangers of cleaning products, outlets, and stairs for younger children. But it's always important to watch for everything. Dangerous items such as aspirin, prescription drugs, and simple cough medicines left on the kitchen counter are just as bad. I myself find that I'm not the best at putting it back in the cabinet, because I need to re-dose in 4 hours. I assume my children, being ages 5 & 7, "know better" but that's a HUGE mistake. I recently found my son pouring himself some cough syrup because his cough hadn’t subsided as quickly as he wanted it to. This was a wake up call that I was glad to get before it became a 911 call. Now that I'm coming off sounding like a bad parent, I want to be sure that this doesn't happen to others. It's the simple things we take for granted that cause problems. The bottom line: always rethink and double check that you're being safe around children.
