This summer Mona Amin, MD, is taking to Instagram to teach parents about the dangers of heat stroke and what you can do to ensure your child isn't left behind. TheBump
As temperatures rise across America, so do the heartbreaking reports of children forgotten in hot cars. Heat stroke is the leading cause of non-crash vehicle-related deaths in children under 15 years old. While no parent wants to believe this could happen to them, the combination of sleep deprivation, device distraction and a different routine can make even the most attentive parent forgetful.
Amin, a mom herself, then went on to share her tips for making sure you don’t forget your child in a hot car. Even when there aren’t kids in the car, stay in the habit of checking the back seat. It’s important to lock your car everytime as 26 percent of hot car deaths happen when children get into unattended vehicles and can’t get out.Especially if you aren’t the parent typically doing drop-off, another caregiver can be a good source of accountability.Cars are not a place for hide-and-seek, and keys are not toys.
