Mom and Dad.......7 Tips on how to encourage your kids to wear their helmets:
1. Establish the helmet habit early by getting your children helmets when they began riding either as a passenger or a rider themselves. Make sure their helmets are properly sized and adjusted to fit their heads. 2. Wear one yourself. 3. When you first get helmets for your kids, talk to them about why you want them to protect their heads. Involve your child in the purchase of the helmet. 4. Reward your kids for wearing their helmets. 5. Don't let them ride their bikes unless they wear their helmets. 6. Plan bicycle outings together during which all family members wear their helmets. 7. Encourage their friends to wear helmets.
