SUN, HEAT & WATER SAFETY

Featuring: Nam Nguyen and Brenda Dubrowski

Brenda Dubrowski and Nam Nguyen have a lot to teach each other and the audience about how to be safe and make smart decisions about sun, heat and water safety. While preparing a presentation for class, Brenda learned about sun safety and how important it is for kids to make protecting their skin and eyes from the sun a routine. As Brenda says, “Sunscreen isn’t just for swimming–you should have it on whenever you’re out in the sun... I put sunscreen on every morning right after I brush my teeth!” She also shares what the school nurse taught her about heat safety, reminding her friends, “The best ways to prevent a heat illness are to stay cool and drink a lot.” Nam learned a lot about water safety when he helped his older sister study for part of her lifeguard certification test. Nam says, “One of the most important things you can do to keep yourself safe around water is learning how to swim. The other important thing is to always have an adult looking out for you.” Nam also uses his water safety knowledge to help Brenda prepare for a trip to the lake, explaining how open water safety is like pool safety and how it is different.

The Kids on the Block Program on Sun, Heat and Water Safety is designed to introduce children to safety strategies that protect the skin and eyes from sun exposure, the importance of preventing and recognizing heat illness and water safety practices for both pool facilities and open water. The curriculum was developed to encourage decision making skills that would help prevent childhood injury and to promote healthy routines as part of a healthy lifestyle.

The complete curriculum consists of large hand-crafted puppets, four scripts, props, follow-up activities and resources.
