Why some knowledge saves...even childhood memories
Summer. The season of carefree, vacations and outdoor games. Children laugh, run, live every moment with intensity. And we parents? We live to see them happy – but also safe.
But summer is not just about fun. It is also a time of increased accidents. We can say that approximately 60% of childhood accidents occur in the summer, according to data from SafeKids Worldwide,while other studies in various countries argue that incidents of injuries in children tend to peak in the summer months.
This guide was written for you, the parent who wants to know how to anticipate and react appropriately when necessary. Because when it comes to your child, responding appropriately is not a choice – it’s an obligation.
The Most Common Summer Hazards for Children
Heatstroke & Dehydration
Children dehydrate much faster than adults. Just one hour in the sun can lead to dangerous fluid loss or even heat exhaustion.
How to prevent it:
- Always wear a hat and apply high-SPF 50 sunscreen.
- Offer water every 20–30 minutes — not just when they're thirsty
- Avoid sun exposure and physical activity between 11 AM and 4 PM.
Insect Bites
- Use a child-safe insect repellent
- Clean bites with soap and water, apply a cold compress
- Watch for signs of an allergic reaction: swelling, difficulty breathing, or hives
Injuries in the Game
Falls, cuts, bumps – all of these are part of the summer game. The point is if we are ready to face them.
Useful steps:
- Clean wounds with antiseptic
- Bandaging and monitoring for signs of infection.
- Stay calm — kids mirror our emotional response
