You probably remember just how amazing it was playing outdoors as a child: you had unhindered bliss and felt like there was an endless amount of time for exploring outdoors and enjoying your adventures. The thing is, you probably got yourself in a lot of trouble during those times too. Today, it’s your children’s time to enjoy themselves just like you used to, with their boundless levels of energy, endless curiosity, and their extraordinary ability to bounce right back from falls and stumbles. We can’t deny that children usually put themselves at risk for accidents or injuries, and this is most true when they’re exploring outdoors.

For the most part, getting into a little bit of trouble is something natural especially during childhood. Unfortunately for most parents, times have changed and there are more things that you should be concerned about. This is the reason why it is really necessary to pay attention to your children’s safety especially when they are outside. Before you let your little ones loose for their next adventure, learn these outdoor safety tips to keep them safe at all times:

 

Be Prepared

Being ready for the risks that your little ones may experience outdoors will help keep them safe when they get out and play. Know the weather condition for the day and keep in mind that weather patterns change very often. If you don’t see clouds even if the weather reports say it will be rainy, get ready for a storm. Always be prepared by dressing you children accordingly. Besides this, you should also bring items that will keep them healthy and safe. Some of these items include bottles of water to keep them hydrated and snacks to balance their sugar levels. Some great snacks you can bring include yogurt, cheese, and peanut butter since these do not cause unsafe sugar spikes and will help them stay active.

Organize Safe Play Areas

Let your children know that the street is not a safe area. If your children are really young, it is best to limit the areas where they can play. Limit play in your own backyard first while they’re young, then expand their play areas as they grow.

Be Aware of your Surroundings

Some parents do not want to alarm their children and they tend to miss out on addressing the potential risks that the outdoors hold. However, it’s not a good idea to keep your little ones unaware of these since it can harm them, so teach them how to be aware of their surroundings. This also means that you have to keep an eye on your surroundings at all times. Check out every area for harmful objects such as broken glass and other sharp items before you allow your children to play in those places. Aside from these risks, never allow your children to wander off without your supervision and tell them not to talk to strangers or go with someone they don’t know. This may be difficult in today’s social world but your children must know that some strangers have bad intentions.

Seasonal Safety

We can’t avoid seasonal allergies and this can make a few children miserable. Pollen coming from summer weeds and grass usually causes allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, as well as itchy red eyes. To keep your little ones protected and healthy, talk to your doctor and their pediatrician regarding treatments for your little one’s allergies. If you ever need to send your little ones out for a hike and camp, make sure that the camp’s operators know or have an idea about dietary restrictions to avoid harsh allergic reactions.

Be Cautious of Poisonous Plants

A hike in the woods is a great way for children to learn about outdoors. However, they can also experience having rashes due to plants such as poison ivy, poison sumac, as well as poison oak. According to research, around half of the people who come in contact with these plants experience having rashes.

To prevent this, learn how to determine these types of plants and stay on cleared paths when hiking. Also, teach your little ones to refrain from touching things randomly and if you will be hiking with your pets, keep them away from greenery as well.
