Fun Birthday Party Turn Tragedy

2006-12-11T20:49:00.000+08:00

When you are thinking of having a unique birthday party for your child, all sort of idea can come up. However, whatever it is, remember your party is for young kids age 4 to 11. In most instances, kids of this age may not understand what is danger. Keep your idea wild you can, but remember about safety.

The latest hotest news about parent bringing a live cougar to a child's birthday party, which, of course, resulted in tragedy. A 4 year old girl was badly hurt when she snuck up behind the cougar and startled it. Since the cougar was declawed, it seized the child with its teeth and caused severe cuts to her eyelid and cheek and nearly severed her ear.

This sound terrible right? I would think that the kids will enjoy a magic show more than looking at this dangerous animal. Whatever it is, the risk of having this dangerous animal out of the cage is not worth the excitement. You do not have to endanger the life of these kids to have a fun child birthday party.

2006-11-07T12:14:00.000+08:00

Do not get too stringent on the game's rules as this will make your guest confused or bored. Remember, the aim is to have fun.

In the event that someone spoil the prob for the games thus resulting in the games not able to be carried out, be positive as you can towards the child. All children are innocent. Switch to your backup game plan and continue with the party.

The excitement, food and clowd may be too much for some children and they may be frigthen and throw tendrum. Under such circumstances, try to distract the kid and make him feel special by giving him a small gift or extra attention. Thus, remember to keep some extra gift handy. If this does not work, leave him or her alone aside to get use to the environment but with someone overlook to ensure the child is fine. If this still could not pecify him or her, you may have to call the parents to take the child home.

In the event that two children fight over the winning prize, to make both happy, you may decide for a draw and to give both a prize. If a child get angry for not being the winner, get the child to play a sure win game and let the kid be happy that he or she has won.

Birthday Party Safety Tips by Vicki Lansky

2006-11-01T20:51:00.000+08:00

Birthday parties for children can be a wonderful experience if you take the right steps to insure that your child's guests and their parents have a safe and happy time.

One of the first steps is to consider the age of your invitees. If you are throwing a party for infants or young toddlers then you will obviously have their parents in attendance too, serve these parents only finger foods, if you serve them refreshments at all, because you don't want to distract them from their most important function: watching their children! By age 3, parties work better without other parents around.

If you plan an indoor party for your small child, limit it to one room only, and childproof that room as carefully as you possibly can. Leave nothing to chance; what one bright child doesn't think of, you can be sure, another one will.

Here is a checklist that you should go through well before the big event:

1. Remove from the room any portable electrical appliances and everything breakable or sharp.

2. Block off any exits to the party room with shut doors or gates. Keep a path open to the bathroom and/or a diaper changing area, but be sure other rooms along the way are not accessible to the children.

3. If you try a game like "pin the tail on the donkey," be sure to attach tape, not tacks, to tails.

4. Skip pinatas for a few years. Toddlers and waving, swinging sticks just don't mix. Settle instead for a hunt for soft favors, but be sure everyone "finds" one.

5. For the safety of both guests and your pet, banish the dog or cat from the party.

6. Don't serve small candies, peanuts, popcorn, or even raisins. Children can pick them off the table and choke on them while running around, or even when seated, given the excitement of a party.

7. If your party is going to be outdoors, be sure you have enough adults to adequately supervise the children. No fewer than one adult per child is suggested if play in any kind of pool is planned.

8. If your party site is far from home, plan to have parents deliver their own children, unless you have enough car seats for all.

Armed with these simple guidelines you should be well on your way to a fun and safe party for your children.
