Here are ways to help keep your preschooler safe:

• Tell your child not to play in the street or run into the street after a ball or toy.

• Have your child ride his or her tricycle on the sidewalk, not in the street.

• Maintain your outdoor play equipment, watching out for loose parts and sharp edges.

• Teach your child how to swim.

• Teach your child how and when to interact with strangers.
