Summer Safety Tips
Summer is a time that kids look forward to all year. They’re off school and get to give their brains a rest.
But for many parents it’s also a time of year to dread. They usually have to figure out a way to ensure their children are being cared for when they’re at work, but even when they are able to be at home, kids are still that much more susceptible to injury.
We hear some tips for protecting kids from common life-threatening injuries during the summer from Dr. Marie Crandall, deputy medical director for injury prevention, and Rebecca Melvin, education and injury prevention coordinator, with UF Health's TraumaOne Flight Services.
