On any other day of the year, would you hand your child matches or a flaming candle to play with? Probably, a hard no. Don't let the 4th of July mess with all of the ways you work so hard keep your child safe.
Think twice about fireworks and sparklers. Nearly half of the fireworks injuries to children under the age of 5 are caused by sparklers.
Even if fireworks are legal to purchase and use in your community, they are not safe around children. Leave the fireworks to the professionals and watch a public display near you.
