PARENTING YOUR ADD/ADHD CHILD

PAMELA REDMOND SATRAN

SPECIAL TO THE APPLETREE

Swimming brings special fun —
and special hazards. Especially
dangerous for small children is
water, from backyard pools to
lakes to the ocean to the hot tub
on the deck.
Here, from the YMCAs wa-
ter safety program, and the
American Red Cross' rules for
children's aquatic safety, are
ways parents can help keep chil-
dren safe.
Don't rely on inflatable toys
as lifesavers. Toys and rafts may
be fun, but they can't be count-
ed on as lifesaving devices.
Teach small children a water
safety routine. Children should
learn to wait on the side while
parents enter and exit the wa-
ter, and not to get into the pool
or lake themselves until Mom
or Dad gives the signal.
Keep the pool clean. In a
pool, infants and toddlers
should wear plastic pants that fit
tightly. Children who are less
than clean should shower be-
fore swimming. In a lake, be en-
vironmentally correct — don't
shampoo and swim in the same
water.
Prepare for emergencies.
Near a pool or lake or in a boat,
have emergency devices at
hand. A long pole, a ring buoy
with a line, emergency phone
numbers and first-aid kit should
be at waterside. ❑
