The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Emergency Situations teach children about safety
Summer is coming! The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Emergency Situations remind that safety is paramount!
Check-list for parents: safety on playgrounds
Rules of operation. Every adult, coming with a child to the playground, first of all, should familiarize himself with the rules of use of its various elements. Many of them indicate the minimum age of a child for safe play.
Insurance of the child. It is worth distracting yourself for a minute, and a small child can get into a dangerous situation. Be sure to stay close to your baby as he or she explores new elements on the playground - slide, merry-go-round, swings. Help him and guide his actions.
Swings. Explain to your toddler that he should never get close to a swing. Injuries from a swing with another toddler on it can be very serious. It is far from always possible to stop the swing, so even noticing your child, preventing a collision will be very difficult.
Sandbox. Coming to a new playground with a baby who runs to play in the sandbox, be sure to inspect it for dangerous objects: glass, plastic, garbage.
Location of the playground. If the playground is located in the yard near the road, do not let your baby out of your sight for a second. Do not allow him to leave the boundaries of the playground. A toddler exploring the world may not notice a car, bicycle or scooter.
