It’s National Window Safety Week 🪟

Windows bring in fresh air and light—but they can also pose serious risks, especially for young children. Here are a few simple tips to help keep your home safe:

• Keep furniture away from windows to prevent climbing
• Always supervise children around open windows
• Install window guards or stops to prevent falls
• Open windows from the top whenever possible
• Make sure screens are secure—but remember, they are not designed to prevent falls
• Teach children that windows are not for playing

A few small precautions can make a big difference. Let’s work together to keep our kids safe at home
