This summer, remind your child to stay out of the streets and to play in the yard. Take them to a nearby park for a fun and inexpensive treat. Have them play in groups to keep them safe. And, if they are playing with an object that accidently goes into the street, make sure to remind them to look, left, right, left before going after it. Have a Safe Summer!
