S<\/span>ummer is finally here which means long days and lots of freedom for your kids.<\/p>\n

While you want your kids to have a great time and make lots of good memories this summer, you also want them to stay safe. The good news is that it\u2019s possible to do both.<\/p>\n

Preventing Heat Stroke<\/h3>\n

One of the summertime dangers parents don\u2019t always think about is heatstroke<\/em>. While heatstroke in kids is rare, it does happen and it can be deadly.<\/p>\n

Most cases of heatstroke<\/a> in kids occur in cars. The inside of a car can heat up quickly during the summer months and if a child is strapped into a car seat, they can quickly develop a case of fatal heatstroke. This usually happens when a guardian has completely forgotten the child is in the car.<\/p>\n

The best way to make sure you never accidentally leave your child in the car while you run into the store is by creating a reminder. One grandmother puts her shoes near the car seat. Other parents stick a note on their steering wheel. Some put their purses or cell phones next to their infant. What you do isn\u2019t important as long as it makes it impossible for you to accidentally leave your child in the car<\/a> alone this summer.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t fool yourself into thinking that since you\u2019re only going to be away from the car for a moment or two, that it\u2019s okay to leave your child alone. It\u2019s not. A single delay can be deadly. Even if your child is sleeping, take them with you.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t want to bring your child into the doctor\/bank\/grocery store. Have a responsible adult stay in the car with them. Make sure you leave the car running and the air conditioner parked. If possible, park in the shade. Make it clear that the person watching your child is not to leave the vehicle unless they take the child with them.<\/p>\n

While Playing Outside<\/h3>\n

While it\u2019s unusual for kids to suffer from heatstroke while playing outside, young bodies appear to have an easier time adapting to elevated temperatures<\/em> than adult bodies, it can happen. The best way to prevent your child from suffering from heatstroke when they are outside playing is making sure they take frequent drinks of cool water and encouraging them to play in the shade during the warmest parts of the day.<\/p>\n

Signs that your child is in danger of developing heat stroke are:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Muscle cramps<\/li>\n
  • Nausea<\/li>\n
  • Skin is clammy and cool to the touch<\/li>\n
  • Your child\u2019s body temperature has surpassed 104\u02da Fahrenheit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    If you suspect your child is suffering from heatstroke, the first thing you need to do is get them to sit down somewhere that is cool. Encourage them to drink something cool, preferably which contains electrolytes. Wipe them with a cool damp cloth.<\/p>\n

    If your child doesn\u2019t start to recover quickly or frequently suffers from bouts of heatstroke, you should seek medical assistance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
