After decades of handling injury cases, these are rules I have in my own house ⬇️
1. Don't pet a dog while it's eating or drinking. Most dog bites never happen if you just give the dog space.
2. No ladders for the kids. One wrong step is all it takes.
3. No trampolines. Almost no one knows this, but most homeowners policies won't cover trampoline injuries.
4. Never take a pill from ANYONE. With fentanyl everywhere right now, you can't trust what's actually in it.
5. Never get in a car with someone who's been drinking. I promised my son I will pick him up anytime, anywhere, no questions asked, if there's been drinking.
The majority of childhood injuries are preventable. Consider this your reminder to sit your kids down and talk about it.
Send this to a parent who should see it.
