As an adult you can choose whether or not to purchase the gummies and seltzers widely available at stores these days. Children can't always tell the difference between these and their favorite candy, and don't know that they will get more than a tummy ache if they eat a whole bag.
🍬Keep things that look like candy or sugary drinks up and away from where kids in your life can access them
🍭If they do get ahold of them, call the Poison Hotline, 24 hours a day for advice and support at 1-800-222-1222

Do you have your fireplace going today to help warm up the house? Make sure to keep a close eye on little ones!

As little ones start to explore, their slower reflexes can make it harder for them to move their hands away from hot surfaces quickly. Let's make sure we create safe spaces for these curious adventurers! Keep young children away from the fireplace to prevent burns from the hot glass. For more fireplace safety tips, check out our infographic:https://www.safekids.org/sites/default/files/2020-skw-fireplace_safety_infogc-english.pdf
