5 Water Safety Rules Every Parent Need To Observe

 

Most things that we parents see as nothing is what kills children the most, small sickness, infection that got infested with tetanus and more than 600 children die from drowning every year. And it doesn’t have to happen at the pool, if a baby falls inside a bucket full of water and the mother doesn’t notice on time, the baby may die. So there’s the need for every parent to learn the water safety rules;

1. Don’t leave your child unattended while they are in or around water 

If you take your child to the pool, do not take your eyes off them even for a second, it takes just two seconds for a child to drown. Even if your child is a fish in water, they are still your kid so keep an eye on them. The same applies if there’s a bucket or big drum of water that they can easily fall into lying around the house.

 

2. Leave your phone be!

When you’re at the beach, pool or lake, leave your phone be! Don’t let it distract your attention for one minute because that one minute might cost you much more. Just reading a message that came in in 5 seconds is long enough for a child to drown in the pool or be taken away by the waves at the beach.

3. Don’t rely too much on floatie toys

If your child isn’t a swimmer, it’s okay for them to use a floatie toy but that’s if you’d be inside the water and right beside them. If your child is really a weak swimmer, make them wear a life guard jacket while in the water.

 

4. Teach your child the rules

If you’re taking your child swimming, to the pool or the river, tell your child not to; push people into the water,  pull other kids under the water, swim to the shallow end, run in the water or swim without supervision.

5. Learn CPR

You need to have an expert knowledge of how to give CPR as this could save a child or your child’s life. In case a child drowns, giving them CPR will help pump blood to the brain and prevent the worst from happening until the child can be gotten to the hospital.  You can learn online or join the red cross

And like I said earlier, if your baby is a lover of water, she/he might crawl into any bucket-full of water lying around and if not quickly found, this can lead to death. Water is life but if not treated properly can bring death, be safe Mommas!

I Think this world is coming to an end any moment from now oooooh... Guess what I saw yesterday while coming from the market. I was in a shop when a man and a woman entered and after some minutes the man started crying. I was curious and the woman was begging the man to stop crying but he refused.... . All of a sudden the woman raised her cloth, brought out her breast and gave to the man and he started sucking not minding that people were looking at him. I was really shocked The woman is about 27yrs old while the man is about 3months old

Come beat me... I am in my house 🤣🤣
