Falls

Did you know the main reason children hurt themselves is because of falls?

Falls hurt. We know you can't stop falling - it's part of growing up, learning, having fun and you would look daft doing that covered in bubble wrap!

Some falls mean you get a bruise, graze or cut. Others can lead to broken bones, bangs to your head or even worse. So, by trying to make things a bit safer in what you do or how you do it can make a big difference and still let you have a good time.

FALLING EGGHave fun, don't be a bubble wrap!

Do you have to wrap yourself in bubble wrap just to go into your room?
Is your room a total disaster zone?
Is your cat too frightened to come in, it's scared of the mess?
Do you have to use ropes to swing from your door to the bed?

Maybe you should start picking up your stuff. Not only will you get into your mums good books  (maybe rewarded with your body weight in chocolate!!) but your room will be a lot safer and you won't break your things or you if you trip and fall on them!

 Anti-falls top tips!

  • Pick up your stuff 'cos falling is rough.
  • Stairs ain't no place to play, go elsewhere - no delay.
  • Is what you're doing safe? - Alert! - or you could end up really hurt.
