Keep Your Child Safe Outdoors

October 27, 2021 by Annie

Children can be at risk a lot of the time due to their inquisitive nature. They may wander off to explore, or touch things that may be harmful to them. The possibility of risk increases if you’re heading outside with your child for a walk or bike ride. As a parent, it’s completely normal to be concerned about your child’s safety. We’ve put together a list of tips that will help you protest your toddlers and teenagers outdoors.

Keep Your Child Within Your Sight

Kids are accident-prone, and can sometimes harm themselves even if you’re with them. They may want to touch new things or explore new areas. Be aware of things in your surroundings that may harm your child: for example, the hot cup of coffee in front of you can seriously hurt your child if they reach for it and cause a spill. Keep an eye on your child to minimise risk of harm.

Keep Strangers Out of their Reach

Not all strangers are friendly. Teach your child to avoid talking to strangers when you’re not around. If you’re going for a walk at the park or ducking down to your local supermarket, ensure that your child is within reach at all times. If possible, teach your child to be aware of strangers approaching them, and to alert you if this happens. Let your child know that it is safer to be with their family or any of their friends than alone.

Keep Safe While on Road Trips

Car rides are a lot of fun, especially when you are travelling with children. However, young children can become restless in the back seat, and may squirm or reach for things during the journey. To ensure a comfortable ride for your child, prepare for your road trip well in advance. Pack a first aid kit for any accidents that may occur, and keep your windows and doors securely closed so your little ones stay safe. Ensure that your vehicle is fitted with a secure car seat, such as newborn car seats in Australia. This will help to keep infants safe in the event of a collision. Baby seats are a great way to protect your young kids and keep them secure during long journeys.

Protect Them From The Natural Environment

We’re often conscious of our child’s environment while indoors, securing loose objects and placing hazardous materials up high. However, when we’re outdoors, it can be harder to ensure the safety of your child. The outdoor climate is different from the indoor climate. There are strong rays of the sun outside which damage the skin of adults, but have a more serious effect on the skin of young children. Always apply sunscreen to your child’s skin before taking them outside, and ensure they’re protected with a hat and sunglasses so they can enjoy their time outdoors.

Bring Masks Along

Diseases are more prominent than ever, and a cold, flu or other virus can be contracted simply by coming into contact with others. Unlike adults, children can be more susceptible to illnesses. Ensure that your little one is dressed appropriately for the weather, and fit them with a mask if possible to minimise their risk of unwanted illness.

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
