Assuring Safety At Your Child’s Party
A child’s birthday is supposed to be one of the most important days in a child’s life, and how we approach the details leading up to that special occasion is important; especially at a young child’s party.
Before the big day arrives make sure that steps have been taken to have a safe party for your
little prince or princess. Several days before the event, make sure you ask some parents to help chaperone the party; this lets them know that you are taking steps to ensure their little one’s safety and happiness as while as that of the birthday child are important to you. Little
ones have a fashion of running about, so if each adult is assigned 3–4 children each; it makes
it much easier for each chaperone to be responsible for their assigned child.
· Balloons are usually a part of party decor, so be mindful if one should pop. Broken balloons
can be hazardous; kids can choke if pieces of a broken balloon are swallowed. Pick up
up pieces immediately.
· Bathrooms which are a ways from party area should be assigned to an adult to take child/
children as needed.
· If the kitchen area is within easy reach of party area, an adult should be available to avoid
child access to open cabinets and drawers.
· Do not leave matches or lighters within reach of kids, remove immediately after use.
· If planning a pool party; assign an adult to that area at all times. Hiring a lifeguard is another great way of going above and beyond with safety.
