5 Things That Will Hurt Your Kids Over The Holidays

Small children get hurt more this time of year than any other.  Children almost find ways to hurt themselves around the holidays, these are 5 things to look out for if you have small children.

1.  Ornaments.  They are shinny and small children will be attracted to them.  Children could get cut or choke, make sure ornaments are high enough on the tree to be unreachable.

2.  Candles.  Make sure lit candles are out of reach of young children.

3.  Christmas lights and garland can strangle a child by getting tangled around their necks.

4.  Christmas trees can fall over and fall onto a child, make sure they are sturdy.

5.  Fireplaces are very dangerous this time of year.  Children don't actually burn themselves on the fire, but on spark screens and glass doors.

Keep your family safe this holiday season.
