TOUCH OF DUTCH Submitted by Larry Gradwohl

Heemweh [Des iss es erscht Deel vum Gedicht, wu der Henry Harbaugh gschriwwe hot.] Ich weess net, was die Ursach iss— Weess net, warum ich's duh: En yedes Yaahr mach ich der Weg Der alde Heemet zu; Hab weider nix zu suche datt— Ken Aerbschaft un ken Geld; Un doch dreibt mich des Heemgefiehl So schtarr‘ck wie alle Welt; Noh schtaert ich ewwe ab un geh, Wie owwe schunn gemeldt. Wie neecher, as ich kumm zum Ziel, Wie schtarryer will ich geh, Fer ebbes in meim Hatz watt letz Un dutt mer greislich weh. Der letschde Hiwwel schpring ich nuff, Un eb ich drowwe bin, Schtreck ich mich nuff so hoch ich kann Un guck mit Luschde hin;

Ich sehn's alt Schteehaus dar‘ch die Beem, Un wott, ich waer schunn drin. Guck, wie der Kicheschannschtee schmookt— Wie oft hab ich sell gseh‘ Wann ich draus in de Felder waar, En Buw'le, yung un glee. O, sehnscht die Fenschderscheiwe datt? Sie gucke rot wie Blut; Hab oft kansiddert, doch net gwisst, As sell die Sunn so duht. Ya, manches weess en Kind noch net – Wann’s deet, waer’s aa net gut. Wie gleich ich selle Babblebeem, Sie schtehn wie Brieder daar; Un uffem Gibbel—gewiss ich leb! Hockt alleweil en Schtaar! Es Gibbel biegt sich – guck wie's gaunscht— Er hebt sich awwer fescht; Ich sehn sei rode Fliggel pleen, Wann aer sei Feddere wescht; Will wedde, as sei Fraale hot Uff sellem Baam en Nescht! O, es gedenkt mer noch gans gut, Wu selle werri Beem Net greesser as en Welschkannschack Gebrocht sin warre heem. Die Mammi waar ans Graendaeds gwest, Datt waare Beem wie die; Drei Wipplin hot sie mitgebrocht Un gsaagt, "Datt blanscht sie hie." Mer hen's geduh—un glaabscht du's nau— Datt selli Beem sin sie!

Homesickness [This is the first part of the poem, that Henry Harbaugh wrote.]

Guck! Waerklich, ich bin schier am Haus!— Wie schnell geht doch die Zeit! Wann mer so in Gedanke geht, So weess mer net wie weit. Datt iss der Schopp, die Welschkanngribb, Die Seider-press datt draus; Datt iss die Scheier, un datt die Schpring— Frisch gwellt des Wasser raus; Un guck! Die seem alt Glaebbordfens, Un's Dierli vor em Haus.

I don’t know what the reason is – I don’t know why I do it: Every year I make my way To the old home[stead]; I have nothing more to look for there – No inheritance and no money; And yet this feeling of home drives me So strongly in the whole world. Then I simply start out and go Like already told above.

Alles iss schtill—sie wisse net, As ebber fremmes kummt. Ich denk, der alde Watsch iss dot, Schunnscht waer er rausgetschumbt; Fer aer hot als verschinnert gebrillt Wann aer hot's Dierli gheert; Es waar de Draewwlers greislich bang, Sie warre gans verzehrt: Ken Gfaahr—er hot paar mol gegauzt, Noh iss‘er umgekehrt.

The closer that I come to my objective, The faster I want to go, Because something in my heart goes amiss And causes me a dreadful ache. The last hill I run up, And before I am on the top I stretch myself up as high as I can And look there with anticipation. I see the old stone house through the trees, And wish that I would already be in it.

Look, how the kitchen chimney smokes – How often I have seen that,

When I was out in the fields, A young, small little boy. Oh, do you see the window panes there? They look as red as blood; Have often wondered, yet have not known That the sun did that. Yes, a child does not know many a thing yet – If he did, it would also not be good. How I like those tulip trees, They stand like brothers there; And on the top – as sure as I’m alive – A blackbird sits right now! That top [branch] bents – look how it sways – However, the bird holds fast; I plainly see the red on his wing When he washes his feathers; I would bet that his little mate has A nest in that tree! Oh, I still remember really well, When those very trees, No bigger than a corn shock, Were brought home. Mom had been at granddad’s, There were trees like these; She brought three saplings with her And said, “Plant them there.”

We did it – and do you believe it now – That those trees are them. Look! Really, I am almost at the house. – How quickly the time goes, When one is so deep in thought, He doesn’t know how far [he went]. There is the shop, the corn crib, The cider press out there; There is the barn, and there the spring – The water flows out freshly; And look! The same old picket fence, And the gate in front of the house. Continued on page 10

Touch of Dutch Continued from page 7

Everything is quiet – they do not know, That a stranger is coming. I think, the old watchdog is dead, Else he would have jumped out; Because he always barked like the devil When he heard the gate; The travelers were terribly afraid, They would be entirely consumed. No danger – he barked a few times, Then he turned back. [The remaining part will be printed the next issue of “Town and Country”.] [Henry Harbaugh, “The Father of Pennsylvania German Literature” was born in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, on 28 October 1817, the 10th of 12 children of George and Anna (Snyder) Harbaugh. At the age of 19, he left home, and ventured to Ohio. During the next few years he worked as a carpenter, organized singing classes, attended New Hagerstown Academy, taught school, and wrote poems. He entered the Seminary of the Reformed

Get Hooked Lorah’s Truck & Tractor Pulls 4739 S. Cypress Dr., Walnutport PA 18088

Church at Mercersburg in 1840 and after completing his studies in 1843, he served Reformed churches in Lewisburg (6 years), Lancaster (10 years) and Lebanon (3 years). In 1863 he returned to Mercersburg to teach theology at the Seminary, where he remained until his death on 28 December 1867. Throughout the years, Harbaugh wrote not only a considerable number of books on theology and biography, but also articles for encyclopedias and innumerable lectures, as well as poems and church hymns in English. But for us, his greatest contribution was his poems in the PG dialect published in the Guardian, a Reformed Church monthly magazine he founded in 1850 and edited until his death. The first poem, “Das alt Schulhaus an der Krick,” appeared in the Guardian for August 1861. Sad to say, Harbaugh wrote this first poem with an inordinate number of English loan words, especially in light of the fact that he himself was fluent in the dialect. But it quickly became the best-loved and most reproduced dialect poem, particularly in the form in which it appeared in Harbaugh's Harfe, a volume of fifteen of Harbaugh's poems published after his death. (The editors of Harfe substituted Dutch words for many of the English ones.) Harbaugh's subsequent poems in the Guardian (Heemweh was among them.) were, comparatively speaking, free of English loan words.] Summer fun for the whole family!

Keep Kids Cool

10 Rules for Summer Safety By Sara DuMond, MD www.parents.com

Dust off your grill and grab your swimsuits, because the lazy days of summer are here! With the right tools and preparation, summertime can be a relaxing and safe time for you and your family. Here are 10 ways to avoid seasonal mishaps.

Sun Protection and Heat Exhaustion Protect Baby When in the Sun

First, avoid being in the sun between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., and stay in a shaded area as much as possible when outside. Dress baby in a hat, sunglasses, and clothing made with a tight weave. For babies 6 months and older, use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 (SPF 30 and higher is even better) that offers both UVA and UVB protection. For babies younger than 6 months, if adequate shade isn't available, put sunscreen in small amounts on exposed surfaces of skin. Always apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going outside -- even on cloudy days -- and reapply it every two hours. Even waterproof sunscreen loses its effectiveness after about 80 minutes of swimming. How to Treat: If your child does get a sunburn, the best remedies are cold compresses, over-thecounter pain relievers, and aloe preparations. Charles J Breidinger Broker Benjamin Real Estate 2254 Skyline Dr. Slatington, PA 18080 Office 610-767-1293 Cell 484-951-2468 Fax 610-767-9488 cjbreidinger@gmail.com www.bhhsbre.com Text: bhhscjb to: 87778

As temperatures rise, heat exhaustion becomes a concern. Symptoms include fatigue, extreme thirst, and muscle cramping. If a person doesn't cool down and rehydrate herself, heat exhaustion can lead to heatstroke (signs are headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and lack of sweat), which is potentially fatal. How to Treat: If you notice heat illnesses in kids, spray them with cold water from a bottle or hose, fan them, and get them into the shade. Ice packs to the groin and armpits can speed up the cooling process even more. If you suspect heatstroke, call 911. Special Concerns: Infants are vulnerable to heatrelated illness, so keep them in air-conditioned areas when possible. And never leave kids in unattended cars, even with the windows cracked.

Use Caution When in Water

Sadly, drowning is among the leading causes of accidental death in children. The American Academy of Pediatrics says parents should not enroll children under age 4 in formal swimming lessons that teach water survival skills. If you want them to play in water, supervise them within arm's reach, even in shallow water. Special Concerns: When choosing a flotation device, go for a child-size life vest. Little arms are less likely to slip out than they are with water wings. And when compared with using a swim ring, there's less chance of tipping over. Also, take a CPR course (find your local American Red Cross chapterat redcross.org) so you'll be prepared in case of a near-drowning incident.

Burns and Poisonous Plants Guard Against Burns

A member of the franchise system of BHH Affiliates, LLC.

About half of all accidental burns that occur each year happen to kids under age 4. That's why you shouldn't leave a small child unattended around hot appliances, such as a grill or a stove, and why you should keep kids at a distance while you're cooking. Also keep sparklers away from children.

How to Treat: First-degree burns are painful and red but don't blister. To care for these minor burns, hold the area under running cool tap water for about five to 10 minutes. There's no need to use topical creams or ointments, and don't apply ice, as this can lead to frostbite and delay healing. Place a loose, sterile dressing over the site, and keep it clean with soap and water as it heals. Special Concerns: Second-degree burns are deeper and typically blister (don't pop the bubbles). Contact your child's doctor if you suspect this. Third-degree burns are even more serious and appear white, waxy, or black. Often, they are so deep that the area feels numb. These burns require immediate medical attention.

Avoid Poisonous Plants

To further help you sidestep these summer spoilers, here's information on recognizing these plants: Poison ivy grows as a vine or shrub in the grass or on trees. Poison oak grows only as a shrub, usually in the western United States. Poison sumac is a tall shrub or small tree found in wooded areas of eastern states. The good news: the rashes (caused by oils from these plants) aren't contagious. Once the skin has been washed and clothing is removed, the rashes can't spread. Continued on page 20

• Poison Ivy -- Look for three pointed, notched leaves per stem. • Poison Sumac -- Six to 12 leaves grow in pairs with a single leaf topping stems. • Poison Oak -- Looks like poison ivy, but tips of leaves are rounded. How to Treat: If your child's skin comes in contact with one of these plants, you have a window of about 10 minutes to wash away the rash-causing oil. If you don't catch it in time, a rash may develop within 12 hours. Use topical hydrocortisone cream and an oral antihistamine to calm the itch. Special Concerns: If the rash involves the eyes or if it covers a large portion of her body, contact your pediatrician. Oral steroids may be recommended for severe cases.

Beware of Bee Stings

Bees are attracted to flowers, so don't put fragrances or floral-patterned clothing on kids. Likewise, don't leave out open containers of food and drink, and if your kid's clothes get stained, change them. Should a bee land on or next to your child, remain calm and gently blow it away. How to Treat: If your child gets stung, brush the stinger away with the edge of a credit card. Next, apply a salve of one part meat tenderizer to four parts water and leave it on the area for about 30 minutes to neutralize the venom. Then apply cold compresses and topical hydrocortisone cream, and give an oral antihistamine to reduce swelling. You could also apply a paste of baking soda and water. Special Concerns: Bee stings often look worse the next day -- skin reactions are normal and may last up to a week. But some people have severe allergic reactions to bee stings that include all-over hives, difficulty breathing, dizziness or fainting, and swelling of the lips and tongue. These can be life-threatening reactions that require immediate medical help. If your child has this allergy, his doctor

will prescribe an injectable form of epinephrine, a lifesaving medicine.

Bug Bites, Swimmer's Ear, and Food Poisoning Bypass Bug Bites

When outside, cover children with lightweight clothing and use mosquito netting over strollers and infant seats. Ticks are also a concern, so check your child's body for them at the end of each day spent outside. When choosing bug repellents this summer, know that the most effective products contain DEET because it's proven to repel both mosquitoes and ticks. Products with a DEET concentration of less than 30 percent are safe for kids, but not for babies under 2 months old. Apply the repellent once a day and don't use combination sunscreen/bug repellent products. All-natural repellents, such as lemon eucalyptus and citronella, aren't proven to protect against ticks, nor should they be used in children younger than 3 years. It's safe to apply them on older kids. How to Treat: Topical antihistamine preparations can help relieve the itch of mosquito bites. If you find a tick on your kid, use tweezers to pull it off by its head. Ticks have to be embedded in the skin for Continued on page 22

Avert Swimmer's Ear

It's an infection of the outer ear canal, and pain is the earliest symptom. As it progresses, you might see drainage from your child's ear and extreme tenderness when her earlobe or the outer part of the ear is tugged. Because swimmer's ear is caused by germs that invade the ear canal due to excess moisture, dry the outside part of the ears after water play. How to Treat: Apply prescribed antibiotic drops and curb pool time.

Steer Clear of Food Poisoning

If you're outside at a picnic and can't wash your hands (or your kids' hands), use an antibacterial hand gel. Clean all raw fruits and vegetables, and keep raw meats separate from cooked foods. Wash food-preparation surfaces and utensils well, and cook all food thoroughly. If you're marinating food, make sure it's in the refrigerator or a cooler. The FDA recommends keeping cold food at a temperature of less than 40 F. Make sure to refrigerate all uneaten food, not just foods containing mayonnaise, after one hour if the outdoor temperature is above 90 F., or after two hours any other time. How to Treat: Signs of food poisoning include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Usually there's blood in the stool, as well as a fever. If you suspect that your child has it, contact his doctor. Treatment involves fluids, rest, and a bland diet, but the illness may require medical attention.

Hot Weather Safety Tips Source: www.aspca.org

We all love spending the long, sunny days of summer outdoors with our furry companions, but being overeager in hot weather can spell danger. To prevent your pet from overheating, take these simple precautions provided by ASPCA experts: • Visit the vet for a spring or early-summer checkup. Make sure your pets get tested for heartworm if they aren’t on year-round preventative medication. • Pets can get dehydrated quickly, so give them plenty of fresh, clean water when it’s hot or humid outdoors. Make sure your pets have a shady place to get out of the sun, be careful not to over-exercise them, and keep them indoors when it’s extremely hot. • Know the symptoms of overheating in pets, which include excessive panting or difficulty breathing, increased heart and respiratory rate, drooling, mild weakness, stupor or even collapse. Symptoms can also include seizures, bloody diarrhea and vomit along with an elevated body temperature of over 104 degrees.

• Animals with flat faces, like Pugs and Persian cats, are more susceptible to heat stroke since they cannot pant as effectively. These pets, along with the elderly, the overweight, and those with heart or lung diseases, should be kept cool in airconditioned rooms as much as possible. • Never leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle. Not only can it lead to fatal heat stroke, it is illegal in several states! • Do not leave pets unsupervised around a pool— not all dogs are good swimmers. Introduce your pets to water gradually and make sure they wear flotation devices when on boats. Rinse your dog off after swimming to remove chlorine or salt from his fur, and try to keep your dog from drinking pool water, which contains chlorine and other chemicals. • Open unscreened windows pose a real danger to pets, who often fall out of them. Keep all unscreened windows or doors in your home closed, and make sure adjustable screens are tightly secured. • Feel free to trim longer hair on your dog, but never shave your dog: The layers of dogs’ coats protect them from overheating and sunburn. Brushing cats more often than usual can prevent Continued on page 27

problems caused by excessive heat. And be sure that any sunscreen or insect repellent product you use on your pets is labeled specifically for use on animals. • When the temperature is very high, don’t let your dog linger on hot asphalt. Being so close to the ground, your pooch’s body can heat up quickly, and sensitive paw pads can burn. Keep walks during these times to a minimum. • Commonly used rodenticides and lawn and garden insecticides can be harmful to cats and dogs if ingested, so keep them out of reach. Keep citronella candles, tiki torch products and insect coils of out pets’ reach as well. Call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Centerat (888) 4264435 if you suspect your animal has ingested a poisonous substance. • Remember that food and drink commonly found at barbeques can be poisonous to pets. Keep alcoholic beverages away from pets, as they can cause intoxication, depression and comas. Similarly, remember that the snacks enjoyed by your human friends should not be a treat for your pet; any change of diet, even for one meal, may give your dog or cat

severe digestive ailments. Avoid raisins, grapes, onions, chocolate and products with the sweetener xylitol. Please visit our People Foods to Avoid Feeding Your Pets page for more information. • Please leave pets at home when you head out to Fourth of July celebrations, and never use fireworks around pets. Exposure to lit fireworks can potentially result in severe burns or trauma, and even unused fireworks can contain hazardous materials. Many pets are also fearful of loud noises and can become lost, scared or disoriented, so it’s best to keep your little guys safe from the noise in a quiet, sheltered and escape-proof area of your

End of School Year

By: Christine Allen, President, Reading Escapades & Math Explorers, Inc.

The flowers are out, and Spring has sprung. A time that most people relish as a time for renewal. However, for our children, this time of the year signifies the end of the school year. They get restless, and most cannot wait for school to be done. The teachers know this and plan field trips and fun days. Then summer comes and there is 10 weeks of relaxation. What does that mean for your child's education? All the hard work that they put in during the school year? It means they lose an average of 2 months of what they learned. Most teachers need to spend weeks of review come the new school year to reteach what was lost over the summer. I do not know about you, but I HATE redoing things. It is so much easier to maintain their skills during the summer to give your child the edge not only for the next school year but throughout their whole life. There are some very easy things you can do at home to keep up their skills. The key is to plan now. Put the outing on your calendar, otherwise, if you are like me, it will be August 25th and you will not have done anything. Here are some of my favorite things to do in the area

1. Visit places like the DaVinci Center and Allentown Art Museum 2. Go to your library weekly, not only for books but all the great activities they have planned for summer 3. Visit outdoor places like Lehigh Valley Zoo or the Fish Hatchery If you want help planning, you can download a free summer planning calendar at www.read2day. com/free-resources

Summer Safety Checklist for Kids By Katherine Lee Source: www.verywellfamily.com

Summer means lots of kids will be playing outdoors, but it's important to keep a safety checklist in mind to keep kids safe while they're having fun. Here are some great tips to keep in mind for kids' safety. Post this safety checklist on your fridge or family bulletin board as a reminder of ways you can keep your kids safe and prevent injuries or accidents from intruding on your family's summer fun. 1. Practice Summer Sun Safety for Kids When it comes to protecting your kids from the sun, sunscreen plays an important role. But sunscreen is just one of the ways to guard against the sun's damaging rays. Because the sun's rays can reflect off of the sand and water or other reflective surfaces, hats, and sunglasses can also play an important role in preventing UV damage. • Apply sunscreen. It can certainly be challenging to remember to apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going outdoors. But that's exactly what you and your kids should do before heading outside, even on cloudy days (that's because UVA rays can

David L. Hess Concrete, LLC

go right through the clouds and still cause damage). Use generous amounts of UVA- and UVB- blocking sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 and reapply every two hours or more often after swimming or sweating. Studies have shown that people often underestimate how much sunscreen they should be using, so be sure to follow the directions on the package (about one ounce for the entire body is usually the recommended amount). If your gradeschooler is old enough and wants to apply his own sunscreen, supervise the application and remind him to wash his hands when he's done so that he doesn't accidentally rub sunscreen into his eyes. Finally, avoid using combination sunscreens with insect repellants because when sunscreen is reapplied, it can lead to excessive exposure to the repellant. • Get some sun-protective clothing. Dress your kids in hats in wide brims and tightly-woven cotton clothing or clothes that have SPF built-in (many kids' clothes, especially swimsuits, have sun protection in them nowadays). Try to stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun is at its most intense peak, and try to stay in the shade as much as possible. • Shop for some cool shades. Don't forget your child's eyes when you are out and about. Look for kids' sunglasses that block 99 to 100 percent of UVA and UVB rays.You don't need to spend a lot on kid sunglasses — research has shown that inexpensive sunglasses that are labeled as protective for UVA and UVB are effective in blocking the sun's harmful rays. • Remember that you can still get a sunburn even if it's cloudy. Sunburns do not happen only on sunny days; up to 80 percent of the sun's UV rayscan penetrate the skin, even on cloudy days, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. 2. Protect Against Bugs Bugs are one of those annoyances of summer. But insects such as potentially disease-carrying mosquitoes and bees can also be harmful to kids. To protect your child against bugs:

• Use insect repellents to guard against ticks, which can carry Lyme Disease, and mosquitoes, which can carry the West Nile Virus and other viruses. Many repellents are made with DEET, an effective insecticide that is toxic or even potentially deadly if swallowed. If you do use a product containing DEET, it's crucial not to apply the product to a child's hands or face to avoid possible ingestion; it's also important to wash off the product before bed to prevent overexposure to the chemical. Another effective ingredient found in repellents is picaridin, but DEET is the most effective, and what doctors recommend (at 30 percent DEET concentrations) given the dangers posed by viruses such as West Nile. • An alternative to DEET-containing repellents are natural insect repellents; however, parents should keep in mind that "natural" doesn't always

mean "safe." Talk to your pediatrician about which insect repellent is right for your family. • Wear long sleeve shirts and long pants when going outside, particularly at dusk when mosquitoes are more likely to be present. • Never leave stagnant pools of water around the house. Pools of water can serve as breeding grounds for mosquitoes. • Avoid using scented soaps or perfumes on your child. And do not allow your child to walk around carrying sweetened beverages, such as fruit juices. These sweet, strong scents can attract bees and wasps and increase your child's risk of being stung. 3. Prevent Dehydration Whether your child is playing soccer with teammates or running around in the park with some buddies, it's important to keep in mind that frequent water breaks are very important to prevent dehydration. Your child should drink water before exercise and during breaks, which should be about every 15 to 20 minutes. On particularly hot and humid days, it's also a good idea for parents to spray down kids with some water from a spray bottle. 4. Don't Forget Helmets Your child should wear a helmet whenever she is on anything with wheels, such as a scooter, bicycle, or roller skates. A helmet is the most important Continued on page 38

device available that can reduce head injury and death from a bicycle crash, according to Safe Kids USA. And be sure to set a good example by always wearing your helmet when riding your bike. 5. Practice Food Safety Foodborne illnesses increase in the summer because bacteria grow faster in warmer temperatures and humidity. On top of that, more people are eating and preparing food outdoors, at picnics and barbecues, where refrigeration and places to wash hands are not readily available. To prevent foodborne illnesses: • Be sure to wash your hands before preparing or serving any food. Make sure your children wash their hands, or at least use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, before eating. • Never cross-contaminate. Do not allow any raw meat or poultry to come into contact with any other food or plates or utensils. • Consider the temperature. Use a thermometer and be sure to cook all meat and poultry to the correct temperatures to kill any harmful bacteria. Keep all perishable foods in the refrigerator and do not keep leftovers unrefrigerated for more than one or two hours.

6. Guard Against Drowning Each year, more than 830 children ages 14 and under die as a result of accidental drowning, and an average of 3,600 children are injured in neardrowning incidents. Between May and August, drowning deaths among kids increase by a whopping 89 percent. If you have a swimming pool or if your child will be near one, it is crucial to put multiple safety measures in place to keep kids safe. • Put barriers around the pool to restrict access. Use doors with locks and alarms to keep kids out when adults are not present. • Never leave kids unsupervised. Even if your grade-schooler is a confident and capable swimmer, do not leave the pool area without adult supervision if children are in or near the water. • Remember that drownings can happen silently. You may not hear splashing or a call for help—a drowning can happen in minutes and may be silent. • Do not use flotation devices. Inflatable “floaties” and other flotation devices and toys can give kids who cannot swim a false sense of security. • Learn CPR. You may never need to use it, but knowing CPR for adults and for kids is something that can mean the difference between life and death in an emergency. • Learn about the dangers of secondary drowning, which can happen on dry land, hours after a child inhales water into the lungs. • Do not assume that a teen or relative will be watching. Talk to them about not using cell phones, texting, or allowing other distractions while supervising kids in the water. 7. Avoid Trampoline Danger Over 90,000 emergency-room visits were related to trampoline injuries in 2001, according to U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission). Some trampoline safety tips: Never let more than one child use the trampoline at a time, do not let kids do somersaults, and do not allow kids younger than 6 play on a full-sized trampoline, and move the trampoline away from other structures or play areas.

8. Warn Kids About Hiding in Enclosed Spaces Teach children to never play hide and seek by crawling inside an enclosed space such as a car trunk, chest, or old cooler or appliance. 9. Use Caution When Doing Yardwork Never allow children to ride on lawnmowers or to play near motorized lawn equipment. Do not allow children under age 12 to operate push mowers and do not allow children younger than 16 to operate ride-on lawnmowers. In addition to lawnmowers, be sure to never allow your young child to ride an ATV (all-terrain vehicle). ATVs were responsible for 74 deaths and 37,000 injuries in the U.S. in 2008. The AAP recommends that no child under 16 ride on an ATV. 10. Safeguard Home Playgrounds If you have a backyard playground or play equipment, make sure the ground beneath the equipment is soft enough. Surfaces made of concrete, asphalt or dirt are too hard and do not absorb enough impact in the event of a fall. Instead, the CPSC recommends using at least 9 inches of mulch or wood chips.
