For children, playing in the snow is a fun part of winter. As a parent or caregiver, when they head out you also want them to be safe and protected. If you\u2019re not right there with them when they\u2019re playing, there are things you can teach them to reduce the chance of injury.<\/p>\n

Be Aware Of Snowplows<\/b><\/p>\n

Understanding where it is safe to play is a good idea. For example, kids should stay away from the edges of roads, because snowplows can come by and bury them with the snow that\u2019s being pushed out of the streets. The snow piles in parking lots aren\u2019t good places to play either. They may look like fun because of their size, but they got there from snowplows, and that means the plows may push more snow onto them at any time.<\/p>\n

Snowplows aren\u2019t the only concern. <\/b><\/p>\n

The piles of snow can also shift and collapse, and if children want to dig tunnels and build forts, they should always have one person on the outside who can go for help if something collapses. In addition, it is possible that something other than snow was caught by the plow. If it\u2019s sharp it could lead to a serious injury<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Checking in Often is Important<\/b><\/p>\n

Hypothermia, frostbite, and other problems can be very serious, and they can happen quickly when it\u2019s extremely cold outside. With that in mind, make sure your children play close to home, in the yard if possible, and check on them frequently. That can help protect your children during winter playtime, and can give you peace of mind, as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
