Dry Drowning - What Every Parent Needs To Know


Listen Later

One more thing to worry about...

That's all we need as parents, right? Sometimes it seems hard enough to make it through the day avoiding the things that we already know could lead us or our kids down a path we don't want to pursue.

But when something we've always assumed was no big deal--like a child coughing for a few moments after swallowing water, then perking back up--when we hear that that can be a life-threatening danger, well, it can seem like the only option is to be über-vigilant and worried about our kids all the time.

And this is exactly what we face each summer, when social media and daytime news shows are once again populated with stories that start with kids who swallow a bit of water at the pool then seem okay, only to end in every parent's worst nightmare.

Dry Drowning & Secondary Drowning are, indeed, scary.

But there's more to the story than what you might already know--which is why I've dedicated this episode to giving you everything that a parent needs to know about this terrible situation.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:
  • Exactly what "dry drowning" and "secondary drowning" are
  • What signs and symptoms you should watch out for
  • How often dry drowning and secondary drowning happen
  • How worried you should be about dry drowning & secondary drowning
  • What to do if you think your child is experiencing secondary drowning
  • How to prevent these terrible traumas from happening

My goal with this podcast is to help reduce some of the anxieties and worries that come with modern day parenting. And the best way to do that is to give you the best information to help you feel comfortable and confident with your child's health.
