Before answering this question, let me share the thrilling story of my son's disappearance while playing in a large playground in May this year.
In May this year, our family went to the rabbit nest of a large parent-child playground near our home for the first time. This would have been a very happy and memorable good thing, but it turned out that I lost contact with the child for nearly half an hour because of my negligence, and I was so nervous that I almost called the police!
Fortunately, with the help of the staff, I finally found that I was much more cute.
This unexpected disappearance had a deep, long-lasting impact on me and CuteDo. When cute and more out, I no longer dare to run around; when I take my children out, I no longer dare to look down at the mobile phone, and I must ensure that the children are always within their own line of sight.
Speaking of which, I would like to thank the staff of the playground and the safety education picture books that Cute Duo reads on weekdays.
I usually accompany cute and read more safety education picture books and fairy tales, in fact, fairy tales also contain a lot of safety education content.
Lost, what to do?
In the book "Learn to Protect Yourself", there is a safety story about "what to do if you are lost", teaching children how to deal with lost events.
When you can't find your parents in public places such as shopping malls, parks, temple fairs, etc., the most important point is that you must not run around, and it is best to stay where you are.
Call Mom and Dad loudly, and if Mom and Dad are nearby, they will definitely hear shouts.
Ask your uncle and aunt in uniform for help, tell them their names and mom and dad's contact information, ask them to look for their parents on the radio, or make a phone call. If necessary, you can say your home address or school name.
Don't just walk away with strangers.
It was after listening to this story that when Cute Duo lost contact with me, he did not run around, but chose to stand in place and wait, which greatly saved the staff search time in the sea of people.
So, what if the child is at home alone and encounters a stranger knocking on the door?
One day when I was 4 years old, I was blowing my hair in the bathroom in my pajamas, and suddenly a handbag came in the house, a middle-aged man of about forty or fifty years old, which scared me into thinking that the family had entered the thief!
Later, I learned that this strange man was a maintenance worker who had come to repair the sewer pipes. The door is cute and open. As soon as Cute Duo heard a knock at the door, he directly opened the door and let people in, without any sense of safety precautions.
This incident also made me learn a lesson, and immediately gave my children a safe door education.
When you hear a knock at the door, ask who the knocker is, and look through the cat's eye to see if the person outside the door knows. If you don't know someone, ask him to call Mom and Dad directly.
If you know someone, don't open the door casually, and tell your parents after you understand something.
When you hear a knock at the door and look out from the cat's eye but can't see anyone, you must not open the door.
If the courier uncle delivers the door, ask the courier to put the items at the door and let mom and dad open the door to get it. If Mom and Dad are not at home, they will wait until Mom and Dad come back and take it into the house.
Don't casually reveal to strangers that you're alone at home.
Seeing clean river/lake water, can you swim casually?
Every summer, it is especially heartbreaking to hear the news that some children have drowned swimming in reservoirs or pools. Therefore, I attach special importance to the cute and safe swimming education, and hope that children understand that life is only once, and safety should not be wasted because of greed!
Wild swimming is not allowed, and to swim you must go to a regular pool with complete safety precautions.
Warm up and be prepared before going into the water, and swim for no more than 2 hours.
When you feel uncomfortable swimming, you immediately go ashore and shout for help when you encounter leg cramps.
People who can swim may also drown, and they are not allowed to play in the water casually.
Seeing that others are in danger of drowning, you can't go up to save people, but you can ask adults who can swim around to save people. (It is not recommended that minor children save people, self-help ability is not enough, rushing to save people may lead to their own lives in danger.) ）
What traffic safety should I pay attention to at home and when crossing the road?
"Oops, Be Careful" and "The Terrible House" are picture books on safety education in both areas.
"Oops, Be Careful" shows children the importance of obeying traffic rules through the contrasting demonstration of bunny and bear.
To guide children to pay attention to traffic safety, we should teach children to do these:
Usually pull over to the side of the road, do not run on the road, do not play in the middle of the road.
When crossing the road, you must take the zebra crossing. Red light stop, green light line. When the signal lights turn yellow, it is not the road, and if it turns yellow in the middle of the road, accelerate the traffic.
Do not play around or under the vehicle.
Crossing the road without crossing the guardrail makes it safer to cross the overpass.
Inside page of the "Good Terrible House" picture book
When instructing children to be safe at home, we teach them to do this:
Do not touch the socket plug.
Do not touch sharp knives and scissors.
Go up and down the stairs and pay attention to the safety of your feet.
Don't mess around on the balcony.
Do not touch the gas stove to prevent gas leakage poisoning.
Open and close doors or drawers, fingers without placing the seams.
Regarding the family safety education of children aged 1 to 6 years old, there is also a "Family Safety Toy Book" with a particularly strong quality, with a single page thickness comparable to a dollar coin.
The traffic light design of the "Family Safety Toy Book" is very suitable for young children to play and cognitive.
As long as the child scratches his finger, he understands what can be done and what cannot be done.
Parents will also understand that some dangers can be eliminated in advance.
In addition, we can also accompany children to read some classic and interesting fairy tale books to make children understand the importance and necessity of safety issues.
Little Red Riding Hood: Don't trust strangers and don't go where no one is
When Little Red Riding Hood encountered the big bad wolf, he was not wary and told the big bad wolf all the destinations and plans of his travel. Believing the words of the big bad wolf, he walked into the fork in the forest alone and picked flowers for his grandmother, which eventually led to the death of his grandmother and himself.
If it weren't for the hunters who happened to pass by to save each other, Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma would never have survived.
I use this story to tell cute and lots, when we go out, don't trust others, don't go alone to places where there are no people, pay attention to protecting your travel information, and prevent bad people from taking advantage of the opportunity to do bad things.
Hansel and Gretel: Leave a mark anytime and anywhere to help you find your way home, and don't eat strangers
Hansel and Gretel is also a particularly educational fairy tale in which the father marries his stepmother and is tricked by the stepmother into taking the two children into the mountains and throwing them away.
When Hansel and Gretel heard this bad news, they prepared a lot of stones, and threw them all the way along the way, even if they were trapped in the dark forest, they could find their way home.
This paragraph is intended to remind children that if they are accidentally caught by bad people one day, they must also think of the opportunity to secretly leave some marks for themselves so that they can find their way home.
Later, the bread that Hansel and Gretel left on the road for the second time to make marks was eaten by the birds, and they could not go home, but found a house full of desserts and biscuits.
Because of their hunger, the brothers and sisters ate the biscuits and candy on the roof without even thinking about it, and they did not expect to fall into the trap of the witch. The witch enslaved her sister to help her do physical work, and she had to imprison her brother to fatten her and eat...
This storyline is intended to remind children not to eat strangers' things, otherwise they may lose their lives or say for sure.
Recently, I accompanied the cute and read "Calvino Italian Fairy Tales" also has several small stories about safety education, I tell a more representative one.
Silver Nose: Don't be fooled by appearances, don't walk with strangers
"Silver Nose" is about a poor washerwoman and three daughters who cling to each other, credulously trusting an elegant-looking gentleman who comes to the door, and asks the three daughters to take turns to follow him as a washerwoman. As a result, he almost killed his three daughters and went home.
Some people may look good and speak grandly, but their essence is good or bad, and we can't see clearly.
The only thing we can do is not to trust others and not to follow them casually.
As parents, we should not only cultivate children's safety awareness in ideological concepts through picture book reading, but also always pay attention to children's home, travel and social safety. It's safest for your child to always be within their own line of sight.
Children are young, and they may forget their parents' advice at any time and put themselves in a dangerous situation.
So, whenever and wherever you are, it's safest to stay with your child. Put down your phone and play with your child.
