Top 5 Summer Safety Tips for Kids from hundreds of Pediatricians

Dr. Lili, a board certified pediatrician and mother of 4 young kids, was driving herself crazy with all the dangerous things that can happen to kids in the summer, so she decided to poll her fellow pediatricians. She made up some surveys and got 856 votes for what their Top 5 Summer Safety Concerns would be. Here are the results. She was thinking about swim safety, getting hit by cars, bike accidents, ticks and Lyme disease, burns on hot grills, alcohol poisionings, car accidents, sunburns, and more. Her colleagues added in some that she never even considered. Here is a video that gives you the inside scoop on what pediatricians are most concerned about when it comes to summer safety.

WOW! This was your best video yet. I just read a post on Facebook where a mom talked about her son drowning. She was shocked because there were tons of people there and nobody noticed him slip under the water. Scary!

So many things that I don't think about as a mum of a too-boisterous toddler, and another newborn coming. Thank you for making this video!
