Bumps, bites, cuts and bruises are a normal part of childhood. Fortunately, most injuries are minor and require only a little attention. While you can’t always stop your natural-born daredevil from getting hurt, there’s plenty you can do to prevent and make them feel better while speeding up the healing process. Follow these tips to avert and heal your kid’s minor boo-boos quickly for a wound-free summer. —Vita Daily

Fantastic prize for a Granny who cares for 2 boys. Bactine would be my first pick but we certainly could use the entire package. Thanks for this chance.
