The end of summer may be here, but that doesn’t mean you should get scarves and gloves out of the closet yet. Depending on where you live, pools might still be open, temperatures remain warm, and playgrounds are busy. Keep your children healthy and safe before the weather changes with these safety tips:

1. Follow boating and pool rules, including wearing properly fitting life jackets.
2. Wear and reapply sunscreen.
3. Stay hydrated!
4. Use bug spray to protect your kids from insect-transmitted diseases and irritation.
5. Always check playground equipment for softness and faulty parts.
