Now that spring has finally made an appearance, it is time that people pull up their shades and open their windows to let the sunshine and warm breezes into their homes.  It is important to keep children safe when windows are open. 

·         Strings from window blinds and shades can cause strangulation.  Keep cords tied up so children do not have access.  Newer window treatments are cordless.

·         Remember that window screens may keep bugs out, but they won’t keep children in.  To prevent falls, do not allow children unattended access to windows.
