Health Tip: Keep Kids Safe in the Backyard
Check the area for dangerous plants
By Diana Kohnle
(HealthDay News) -- Playing in the backyard is a great way for a child to get needed exercise, but you should make sure your backyard is safe.
The American Academy of Pediatrics offers these safety suggestions:
- Make sure there aren't any dangerous or poisonous plants in your yard.
- Create a boundary for your child if you don't have a fenced yard; make sure someone responsible is always supervising your child.
- Make sure your child understands to never eat anything from a plant.
- Take care when using pesticides or herbicides in your yard; make sure children don't play on an area for 48 hours after these chemicals are applied.
- Never allow a child to ride on a lawn mower, and never mow with a power mower when children are nearby.
- Keep children away from any barbecue grill.
