During the winter, urgent care clinics are convenient and effective
when you need care related to harsh weather and winter sport injuries. It is
only natural for children to overlook safety when they are preoccupied with fun
in the snow. Education is the best tool to prevent your child from suffering a serious injury or any of the following potential hazards:
- Cars have difficulty stopping on slippery and icy roads. Make sure your children understand that it is still just as dangerous to play in the streets even if there appears to be few cars on the road.
- Slips and falls are common during the winter season. Remind your child that he or she should always wear their helmet when skating, skiing, or sledding in order to protect themselves against possible head injuries.
- Unfortunately, children are usually drawn to frozen ponds and lakes. They should be reminded to stay off the ice, especially when there is no adult supervision.
Be an active participant in your child’s winter fun and you can help
keep him or her out of harm’s way while creating valuable memories at the same
time.
