A nationwide campaign "Do not leave children unattended!" is underway in the district. In this regard, rescuers urge parents to pay attention to teaching their children safety rules. Every parent wants their child to grow up not only healthy and smart, but also to be able to avoid emergency situations and not become their cause. How can you ensure that a child learns the rules of safe behaviour? The advice is simple: instill these skills in children from an early age. At a young age, children are naturally curious, and they absorb all the information from the surrounding world. The following important recommendations will help in this learning process.
Play is the primary way children learn. It is through play that a child better remembers the basic rules. Introduce a new game into your playtime repertoire: "Rescuers Rush to Help!". Be sure to tell your child about the work of rescuers, in which cases their help may be needed (fire, collapse, drowning, etc.), and how to call them correctly:
- dial 101 or 112;
- provide your address;
- explain what happened;
- state your first name, last name, and phone number.
Play the role of the dispatcher, let the child call and request assistance from rescuers. Then switch roles. Through play, they will acquire the necessary knowledge:
The most important thing a child should know during a fire:
- DO NOT PANIC!!!
- do not hide;
- run out of the house into the street;
- call for adult help;
- call rescuers by phone at 101 or 112.
Create a "reminder" with your child, which will list the numbers of emergency services and close relatives. Place it near the home phone.
Dear parents, these are by no means all the ways to teach a child safe behaviour and to form the correct model of behaviour in emergency situations. Be imaginative, invent new games, and the time spent with your child will be not only engaging but also educational. Your child will undoubtedly grow up healthy, smart, and prepared for adult life!
