Be careful around piles of leaves.  There can be critters in there such as mice, snakes, and bees. Leaves on the ground may also be slippery so be careful to avoid injuries.

Fireplaces, electric, kerosene and propane heaters are toasty but be careful not to allow young children too close to them thus avoiding burns.

 Also, assure ventilation is adequate to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Early symptoms may be nausea, vomiting, light headedness, and headache. Seek care at an emergency room if this problem is suspected.

Hayrides and pumpkin picking are fun activities. Children with asthma and/ or allergies may experience severe or persistent coughing when exposed to this environment. Please be sure urgent or emergent care is not needed for evaluation. A child with asthma and a severe cough does not need cough medicine; treatment for their asthma will quiet the cough.

Kids love trick or treating. Monitor where your child goes and assure they are safe from traffic, other people and treats they receive. Use your instincts. If something about a house does not seem right, skip that house and go to the next one.

Supervise your children at the bus stop. Guide them to watch for oncoming traffic and obey the rules for crossing the street. Dress them appropriately for the weather, especially when it turns very cold or is raining.

Book bags for school should be checked to make sure they are not too heavy for your child. Bags that are too heavy can cause back and shoulder pain as well as affect their posture.
