|
It's no surprise to hear the little ones get more boo boo's this time of year .
Child Safety Advocate Scott Cirillo, aka Mr. No-No, will help make your festivities safer and with less mishaps this holiday cheer.
Naughty List
* Keep animated characters, lights and fragile decorations out of children's reach.
* Make a barrier around the Christmas tree. Examples: presents, stuffed animals, train, etc.
* Never piggyback more than two light strands on a plug.
* Do not hang stockings above the fireplace while lit.
* Do not over wrap the gifts with tape and ribbon.
* Keep children out of the kitchen... just for the holidays.
* Put your decorations away as soon as the holidays are over.
Nice List
* Let your little ones know ahead what their holiday schedule will be like.
* Share the decorating experience with your children.
* When using extension cords, use electrical tape to secure the connection.
* Wrap the gifts don't bag them. Opening presents is half the fun.
* When opening gifts, designate one adult to handle the scissors.
* When throwing away wrappings, have one adult be trash detail.
* Read bedtime stories to your children.
Mr. No-No realizes some of these tips might be common sense, but you would be amazed how many children end up getting hurt.
