If you are planning a pool party, make sure to always have an adult serve as a "water watcher." Print out the Water Watcher card here.

Before you put the burgers on the grill, follow a few simple tips to avoid grilling injuries.

Before letting your kids out the door to go play with friends, siblings and cousins, remind them about how to stay safe around traffic, on the playground and on their bikes.
