In the past, I watched a parent-child interactive entertainment program, which had a variety show, that is, in order to better educate the children, parents invited the column group staff to cooperate with each other to educate the children on safety knowledge.
At first, Mom and Dad thought it would be easy to teach their children not to open doors to strangers. Just tell your child a few more words, "Don't open the door to strangers, or you won't see your parents" to let your child know the serious consequences of opening and closing the door for your child.
In this test, the reporter used three identities: "checking the water meter", "delivering courier" and "your mother's friend". As a result, all the children opened the door to strangers.
The child will open the door, is it really tempting?
It seems that the child is not firm, and it is easy to open the door to strangers, as if it is tempting, in fact, sometimes the child's motivation to open the door to strangers is very simple.
01, do not understand the danger
Most parents warn their children not to open doors to strangers because of the dangers. But children have no concept of danger, just like children who have not eaten chili peppers will not understand that chili peppers are spicy, and only after tasting them will they understand what spicy really feels like, which is a cognitive ability.
02, subjective consciousness is at work
Although the child is still young, the subjective consciousness is always growing, and the child is eager to decide something on his own. But in ordinary times, what the child wants to do, the parents will always block.
For example, if you want to eat ice cream, you can't, parents are afraid of eating bad stomachs; if you want to watch cartoons, you can't do it, it will hurt your eyes. In short, parents think that it is not feasible to do, the child's subjective consciousness has been obstructed, will definitely carry out "resistance", in their own decision to open the door, the child is easy to make a wrong decision.
Don't open the door to strangers, parents can do it!
Children have a single mind, it is easy to be deceived, and there must be hidden dangers in parents leaving them alone at home. Here are 3 ways to help you.
1: Put a sign in a conspicuous place such as the doorway
What the logo writes is the word we often say in the mantra "don't open the door to strangers". And the words have to be written very big.
2: Simulate various strangers coming to the door for children
As in the 2 tests above, scammers will pretend to be people from all walks of life to deceive children's trust.
The only thing we can do is to do a good job of "drills" in advance. Simulate what might happen. Let the child know that as long as he sees a stranger on the access control, he cannot open the door, no matter whether he is checking the water meter, sending a courier, or the police to arrest people. You have to tell your child that "you can't open the door."
3: Strangers come knocking on the door, the first time to contact the parents
If you don't do a good job of educating your child about safety, your child will either open the door without hesitation or open the door without withstanding the words of strangers, as is the case on the video.
Therefore, this third step is that you must remind the child: leave a tool for the child to contact us, and call the parents as soon as a stranger comes to the door, rather than independently judging whether the person behind the door is a bad person.
