Summertime is a fun and exciting season for children. With plenty of ice cream to eat, sprinklers to run through and bikes to ride, who wouldn't have a blast?

Getting your children to wear their appropriate flotation devices can be a challenge since these life vests tend to hinder movement so badly and are so bulky to wear. "Floaties" which are worn on the arms only, are actually considered toys and are not enough to truly protect your child in the water.

Tying your shoes is one of the hardest things for young children to learn. It is also one of their biggest accomplishments. I can still remember the day I first learned to tie my shoes, and believe me, there's not a whole lot I remember from being that small, but that memory has always stuck out in my mind.
