The days are longer and that means that kids are out on the street more and this increases their chances of injuring themselves or being struck by a motor vehicle, according to a National Study of the Seasonality of Unintentional Childhood Injury.
The study lasted six years and identified accidents as the leading cause of death in kids fourteen and under. Children aged ten to fourteen were particularly vulnerable, the study showed.
Increasingly hot summers can contribute to heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Both conditions can result in therapeutic failure, if not treated correctly and in time. According to the study, parents were urged to keep their children hydrated and protected from the sun. That’s fine if you have 24-hour access to your children during the summer.
