Parents whose children have drowned say that the day of the tragedy started out just like any other day. No matter how the drowning happened or where it happened—pool, spa, or any other body of water—one thing was the same: the seconds that claimed their child's life slid by silently, without warning, and can never be brought back. Water safety tips are included such as attending children by pool side, using alarms on each door that leads to the pool, installing a motor-driven safety pool cover, safeguarding pools with fences and self-closing and self-latching gate use.
An informative website that encourages parents to survey homes for potential baby hazards. Suggestions include setting the water heater temperature, baby-proofing garbage and recycling bins, using decals for children's safety, using safety doorknob covers on doors, covering electrical outlets for baby safety, using baby safety gates, keeping drawers closed for baby safety, baby proofing kitchens, keeping step tools out of reach, using cabinet and drawer guard latches and shortening cords for baby safety.
