>>> SUMMER IS HERE
AND THE KIDS
ARE OUT OF SCHOOL .
TIME IN THE FUN IN THE SUN IS A
TIME WHEN KIDS ARE MORE AT RISK
TO SUFFER AN UNINTENTIONAL
INJURY.
HERE WITH THE TOP 10 TIPHOW
TO MAKE SURE OUR KIDS ARE SAFE
ALL SUMMER LONG IS TIFFANY
BRADBERRY.
WELCOME TO THE SHOW.
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE PARENTS
ON A DOWNER, BUT WE DON'T READ
>> WE JUST WANT TO MAKE YOU
AWARE OF THINGS YOU CAN DO TO
KEEP YOUR KIDS SAFE.
>> NUMBER ONE, POST EMERGENCY
PHONE LIST.
>> EMERGENCY PHONE LIST, HAVE
YOUR PHONE NUMBER ON THERE.
HAVE A NEIGHBOR THAT IS CLOSE
BY.
AND WITH MY KIDS IF THEY ARE
HOME ALONE I AM LIKE OKAY OUR
NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET,
HERE IS THEIR PHONE NUMBER.
AND OF COURSE 911.MOST KIDS
KNOW THAT BUT IN A PANIC
SITUATION YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD
AND POST THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
>> PRACTICE YOUR EMERGENCY PLAN
WITH YOUR CHILD.
>> TALK TO THEM ABOUT WHAT OUR
EMERGENCY PLAN IS.
WHAT WILL WE DO IF THERE IS A
FIRE IN THE HOUSE.
WHAT ABOUT IF THERE IS SOME
OTHER KIND OF EMERGENCY.
YOU HAVE TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE
THOSE CONVERSATIONS.
>> MAKE SURE THE FIRST AID KIT
IS STOCKED.KNOW WHERE IT IS.
>> KNOW WHERE IT IS HOT.
>> MINE IS IN THE HALL
BATHROOM
CLOSET .
JUST HAVE THOSE TYPES OF THINGS
AND MAKE SURE YOU GO OVER WITH
THE KIDS WHEN THEY NEED TO GO
AHEAD AND CALL 911 IF AN ENTRY
MIGHT BE MORE THAN SOMETHING
THEY CAN HANDLE.
>> THAT IS A GOOD POINT.
AND THEN LET THE CHILDREN KNOW
WHERE FLASHLIGHTS ARE AND WHAT
TO DO IF A TORNADO OR SEVERE
WEATHER WERE IN THAT TIME WERE
THE, PROFESSOR.
>> OH MY GOODNESS.
EVEN TODAY'S WEATHER FEELS LIKE
A WET BLANKET OUT THERE.
YOU JUST NEVER KNOW.
IT WOULD BE TERRIFYING FOR A
CHILD, EVEN IF THEY ARE OLD
ENOUGH TO BE LEFT AT HOME FOR
THE POWER TO GO OUT.
A LOT OF TIMES WE HAVE EITHER
CORDLESS PHONES OR MAYBE THEY
DON'T HAVE THEIR OF UNCHARGED
SO THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO CALL
SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THOSE
FLASHLIGHTS CHARGED UP AND
THINGS LIKE THAT READY FOR THE
KIDS TO GRAB.
>> MOVE OR LOCK UP DANGEROUS
ITEMS LIKE GUNS, KNIVES, HAND
TOOLS.
>> GET THOSE THINGS UP AND OUT
OF THE WAY.
YOUR KIDS DON'T NEED TO KNOW
WHERE THOSE ARE AND ESPECIALLY
IF THERE AT SOMEONE ELSE'S
HOUSE.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THOSE
THINGS ARE OFF LIMITS.
>> GOOD REMINDER.
MAKE SURE POTENTIAL POISONS
LIKE DETERGENTS, POLITIES,
PESTICIDES ARE REMOVED OR OUT
OF SIGHT.
>> ESPECIALLY MAYBE IF YOU HAVE
KIDS , AND ALL THE CHILD TAKING
CARE OF AN OLDER CHILD.
YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT
THAT EXTRA
STRESS ON THE OLD CHILD SO GO
AHEAD AND REMOVE THOSE THINGS
OUT OF THE EQUATION.
>> MAKE SURE MEDICINE IS KEPT
LOCKED APPEARANCE BUT WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE WE DO THAT.
>> TEENAGERS GRUMPINESS
MEDICATIONS BECAUSE THEY ARE
CURIOUS OR PEER PRESSURE .
JUST KEEP THOSE THINGS UP AND
OUT OF THE WAY.
>> AS WELL AS MATCHES AND
LIGHTERS.
>> THERE IS NOTHING THAT THE
KIDS NEED TO USE AS FAR AS THE
POWER GOES OUT, THAT IS WHY WE
WANTED TO USE A FLASHLIGHT.
WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO USE
CANDLES.
THERE'S NO REASON FOR THEM TO
BE USING LIGHTERS OR MATCHES
WHEN YOU ARE NOT HOME.
>> MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A WORKING
SMOKE ALARM.
>> WORKING SMOKE ALARM.
IT WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE.
SURE YOU HAVE ONE ON EVERY
LEVEL OF YOUR HOME AND THAT
YOUR KIDS, KIDS DO TEND TO
SLEEP THROUGH THESE.
EVEN OLDER KIDS.
YOU WANT TO PRACTICE THOSE
THINGS BECAUSE IF YOU LEAVE FOR
WORK AND YOUR CHILD IS STILL
ASLEEP WHO IS GOING TO WAKE
THEM UP.
THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO MAKE
SURE THEY CAN HEAR THAT SMOKE
ALARM.
>> AND THE FINAL ONE, NEVER LET
THE KIDS SWIM ALONE AND MAKE
SURE THERE IS A WITH AN ADULT
WATCHING.
>> YES.
THAT IS HUGE.
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T
HAVE THEM OUT THE PARENTAL PUT

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
