As pools are now open, I wanted to share a very important reminder 💦!

2 weeks before Anna died at the pool I was so stressed taking my 3 little kids to the pool all by myself. On the day she died I was not stressed or nervous. In fact, I remember thinking this is going to be great! It wasn’t going to be just me watching the kids but now I had my husband, sister, brother, SIL and even lifeguards all there to help me. So I let my guard down.

💔

IF EVERYONE IS WATCHING THE POOL…NO ONE IS WATCHING THE POOL

It’s actually a psych concept I teach my high school students called DIFFUSION OF RESPONSIBILITY. I tear up every time I explain it to them knowing that it was one of the many factors related to Anna’s death that day.

WATER IS DANGEROUS.

That doesn’t mean you can’t have fun in water but you need to RESPECT it and always be careful!

Assigning a WATER WATCHER or even just making sure you verbally tell someone to be responsible for the little ones in water while you take a break is a MUST when you’re at a pool. Don’t let your guard down.

In fact, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE 🙏

ALWAYS GUARD 4 ANNA AROUND WATER 💚💦
