Dear parents, if you want your children to be safe, do not cite lack of time or being busy as an excuse. Start with yourselves, with responsibility for your child, with the example you set for them. Under no circumstances should you leave children unattended, especially preschool and early school-aged children. Try to anticipate and prevent danger, to offer help in time, or to stop them from taking a wrong step. Remember that one day your child will follow not your advice, but your actions, so observe safety rules and teach them to your children.
