Any parent worries about their child - this is absolutely normal. But instead of tormenting yourself with panic, you need to learn the safety rules for children in a timely manner with your baby. Such training will help to significantly reduce the likelihood of a real incident that could harm your child’s health .
What threatens the child?
Safety rules for children can be systematized in many special sections. It is most convenient to separately remember the norms of behavior for a home, school or kindergarten, street. Do not forget about
safety on the road or in crowded places. There are seasonal safety rules, for example, in winter you should not go out on the ice of a reservoir, and in summer swim without supervision of adults. If it is difficult for you to independently remember everything that you can and cannot do, you can purchase a brochure on child safety or a bright poster. But still, the most important truths you should regularly repeat to the child from infancy. And do not rely on an educational institution, it is important that the child himself knows how to behave in a particular situation.
Basic safety rules for children
We all live in turbulent times. For this reason, it is important to teach the baby to limit contacts with strangers. Teach your child not to talk to outsiders on the street and not to accept gifts. Explain that even if the stranger appears to be a friend of the parents, you cannot enter into dialogue with him. It is advisable to provide the child with the contacts of a relative or close family friend for emergency contact, provided that he cannot reach the parents. Explain to your son or daughter that if a stranger sticks on the street, you need to turn to a police officer or any passerby for help. Keep in mind that often the most acute reaction to the problems of others is middle-aged women.
Safety rules for children should also include road behavior. Teach your child to use elevated and underground passages. If the road needs to be crossed directly, each time remind you to monitor the traffic light and each time to see if the cars are going to the inhibit signal.
Safety at home
If the safety rules for children on the street and on the road are practically understandable, then what should children be warned about at home? Teach your child to use simple electrical appliances, such as a TV, microwave and refrigerator. Explain that you can not touch: the oven, heating system, sensitive electronics. Keep fire-hazardous substances and medicines out of the reach and do not forget to remind your baby that these are not toys.
Safety rules for children should also include emergency guidance. Tell us what to do with a lighted electrical appliance, and remind you to urgently call your parents if the apartment smells of gas for no reason.
Do not forget about the safety rules of children at school. The child should know that you must not touch other people's things thrown unattended, and you must tell the teacher about such a find. If one of the classmates brought something dangerous and forbidden with him to the class, the teacher should also be notified.
This list of simple behavioral standards can go on for quite some time. The most important thing for parents is to spare no time for communication and activities with their children and regularly conduct home discussions about safety and proper behavior.
