Are you celebrating Independence Day this week? Here are a few firework safety tips to consider: โค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŽ†

- Leave it to the Professionals: Many neighborhoods, counties, and cities have professional fireworks shows. These can be spectacular events because of the quality and quantity of the fireworks on display and the community atmosphere they create.

- Consider Alternative Lights: Sparklers are definitely cool, but theyโ€™re also hot! Glowsticks, confetti cannons, silly string, clappers, bubble machines, and flashing LED lights that change colors are all safe options for the six-and-under crowd.

- Set Clear Guidelines: Be sure to clearly communicate to your child that all fireworks must be handled by an adult.

- Model Firework Safety for Your Preschooler: You can demonstrate this concept by reading instructions carefully and explaining all the precautions youโ€™re using.
