Some Thanksgiving Food for Thought by Hillary Lewis, MD
During the Thanksgiving holiday, millions of people will be traveling. There are a few things we want you to be aware of, in order to keep your child safe this holiday season!
Pool and Water Safety
A day at the pool is a great way to spend time with your kids and cool off from the hot Texas weather. Just remember, children can drown in less than a foot of water. Drowning is the leading cause of accidental deaths among children ages one to four and the second leading cause of death for children under the age of fourteen.1
