“We should never permit ourselves to do anything that we are not willing to see our children do. We should set them an example that we wish them to imitate.”
― Brigham Young
Have you ever observed a family out biking together the
children are outfitted with bike helmets while Mom and Dad ride without? They are looking after their children’s well-being
while taking chances with their own.
And a few weeks ago Grandpa Snyder was in the process of
setting out with our grandchildren without his helmet.
A wise woman once told me that parents should look after
their needs first because who else will look after the children and this wisdom
is replicated when you board a plane with a child. Here you are told to put on
your life jacket or place your oxygen mask on before you looking after your
child.
We want our (grand)children to be safe and happy and they
want us to be the same.
Keep yourself and your children safe while out enjoying exercise and fresh air together wear your helmet too.
I am not an authority on how to safely wear a bike helmet so I have included two link from institutions that are. The first is to a link to the Ontario government's young cyclist PDF booklet.
And to Sick Children Hospital page on keeping our
(grand)children safe this summer.
