Our director and two of our amazing board members had a table at the Unite Jackson event tonight! They met so many wonderful people, had a bunch of kids draw their favorite things about summer with sidewalk chalk, and ran into a great friend of CPCAN- state representative Kathy Schmaltz. We are so glad we could be part of such a great event!

Summer is a season full of adventure for many children. A few simple steps can make a big difference in keeping them protected while they explore, play and enjoy the sunshine. Families are already doing so much to help children have safe, fun experiences — and these tips can help build on the great things you're already doing:

• Prioritize water safety. Stay within arm’s reach of young swimmers, use life jackets when needed, and teach kids to always swim with a trusted adult.
• Practice active supervision. At the park, the beach, or a backyard gathering, give kids your full attention during play and transitions.
• Identify safe adults. Talk with children about who they can go to if they feel unsure, uncomfortable, or need help.
• Set clear boundaries. Review expectations around personal space, digital safety, and staying close in public spaces.

Your care, presence, and everyday choices make such a positive difference - keep up the great work!
