Water is important in our life, but sometimes water can be dangerous. So we must pay attention to water safety, especially for kids. Water safety for kids often happens at home and in the pool. Here are some suggestions.

Be careful of hot water. Hot water can be dangerous, especially for kids under five. Young kids have thinner skin (皮肤) than adults, so it’s easier for them to be burnt. You can reduce the risk by testing the temperature of the water with your wrist (腕) or elbow (肘) before placing your kid in the bath.

Watch out for danger in the bathroom. The bathroom is full of danger for young kids. Parents can’t leave them alone in the bathrooms. When young kids are in the bathrooms, remember to put away all the electrical appliances (设备) to avoid the risk.

Never let kids swim alone. Swimming in the pool may make kids feel great. But it is not a perfect sport because of the risk of injury (伤害). It’s dangerous when kids stay in the pool alone because they may even drown (溺亡). So kids should swim with their parents.

Everyone should realize the importance of water safety. To keep kids safe, we need to follow the suggestions above.
