Ways For Children To Prevent Water Tubing Injuries
Here are some ways for children to prevent water tubing injuries:
- Wear a personal floatation device (PFD). If a water tubing accident happens, a life vest may prevent drowning.
- Have a spotter, whose only job is to keep an eye on those who are tubing. The spotter should tell the driver of any issues, such as falling off the tube or rider requests to slow down.
- Check the tow rope before starting. The tow rope should be free of slack and should not be tangled with any objects. The tube can flip leading to accidents
Take Water Breaks
Take water breaks. If your child complains about dizziness, headache, nausea or muscle cramps, he or she could be overheated or at risk for heat-related illness.
Summer Water Safety
A child can drown in as little as one inch of water. Even if your child knows how to swim, watch them closely any time they are in or near water.
School Shootings & Building Design
Schools have been preparing for shootings like the one yesterday in Troutdale, Oregon. Due to the tragic Newtown, CT school shootings, some local cities and towns are keeping security in mind as they design new school buildings. For example, Newton, MA’s new Angier Elementary School building was supposed to have their kindergarten classrooms on the ground floor so these smaller kids could have easier access. After the Sandy Hook shootings, the City of Newton decided to move all classrooms at the Angier Elementary School to the second and third floors.
How to Avoid Divorce
Divorce can devastate children and sometimes may be avoided. Scientists asked both men and women why they argue with their spouses. Of the list of reasons each group gave, both sides cited “money” the most. Parents can cut down on financial conflicts by dividing money into three accounts: “yours”, “mine”, and “ours”. Another way parents can avoid fights and possibly prevent divorce is to hold quarterly meetings to discuss finances. Additionally, some parents also find that signing a prenuptial agreement prior to getting married can make the financial side of things a little bit easier. Although prenups might not sound particularly glamorous or romantic, they can make it much easier to divide assets fairly during a divorce.
