- Tips On Lawn Mower Safety
Many parents know it's important to tend to more than their yards when they do yard work. Still, thousands of children are injured in yard-work-related injuries every year.
It only takes a moment for a child to dart into the path of a lawn mower. Myranda got her foot trapped underneath the blade of her father's riding lawn mower when she was 2 years old. Spence lost part of his foot when he tripped in front of a riding lawn mower when he was 3. Both Myranda and Spence had to have a foot amputated and now use prostheses. - No Kids On Mowers!
Riding mower safety is no accident. One of the first rules is no kids on mowers. Never give a child a ride on a mower, even with the blades off.
• A child may fall off or, after being given a ride, may return for another ride when you aren't expecting. They can slip into the path of the mower or be seriously injured while playing behind the mower, unseen. Giving rides sends the wrong message. Tell children that riding mowers are potentially dangerous machines, not toys or rides. - Transform Your Backyard Into A Taco Garden As A Fun Family Activity
Many parents across the country are looking for ways to get their children to eat better, get outdoors and be more active. Gardening is a great solution-especially when you grow something kids love like a veggie taco garden.
When growing a garden with children, it's important to make sure the activity is an enjoyable experience or their attention will wander. According to Charlie Nardozzi, chief horticulturist for the National Gardening Association and Chief Gardening Officer consultant for Hilton Garden Inn®, there's no better way to make the garden exciting and meaningful for kids than to grow a familiar food.
