BURRILLVILLE –With the nicer weather arriving soon, little kids and youth will be more active, and prone to unintended injuries and deal with other harmful situations in and around the home.
The Fearless Dino Protector Squad wants to remind everyone in the family what they should do in case someone happens to injure or burn themselves, or to unintentionally come in contact with toxic and contaminated materials for any reason. This chart shows families what they should do when dealing with any issues that may be harmful to children and anyone, at any age, in your homes. Bleeding, poisons, minor burns, choking, sprains and strains are addressed, and proper care is defined under each topic.
This would be a great Sunday feature to print and keep somewhere in your home as a reference chart just in case one of these incidents happens to someone in your household.
