As the weather gets warmer, it's time to go out and play in the water.
Children love to play by nature, especially when they see puddles, streams, and pools, they can't help but want to come forward and play, but the water and fire are ruthless!
Every year, there are many accidents in children due to drowning, and drowning is also one of the common causes of accidents in children.
Therefore, many parents do not let their children go to reservoirs, rivers, lakes and other places with water to play, and ensuring the safety of their children is also a matter of special concern to every parent.
However, it is impossible to prevent it, and there is still a risk of drowning in some places in their own homes, and parents should pay attention to it.
The 1-year-old baby fell into the bucket and drowned Grandma was playing with her mobile phone, and her mother cried bitterly: it took 20 minutes to find out
From the picture, we can see that a toddler about 1 year old walks in front of a large water tank, the probe seems to want to play with water, and the grandmother is playing with her mobile phone not far away.
However, due to the unstable center of gravity, I saw the child plunge into the big water tank.
Because the child was too young and low to jump out on his own, he kept throwing himself in the water tank.
At this moment, the child's grandmother passed by the water tank, but did not realize that the child was in danger.
In this way, the anxious grandmother passed by the water tank several times, but did not find her grandson calling for help.
Time passed minute by minute, and the child in the picture had gradually stopped moving.
The mother checked the surveillance, and after the child soaked in the water tank for 20 minutes, the grandmother found the grandson in the water tank, so she quickly picked up the child, but it was too late.
Even if the grandmother knelt on the ground with her grandson in her arms and cried bitterly, the child would not come back.
After seeing this scene, netizens expressed angrily:
"The grandson is around, how can this grandmother not see it?"
"The child is soaking in the water, but he is playing with his mobile phone, he is really speechless. ”
"My heart aches when I see my child quieting down. ”
"Children like to run around, and the elderly have bad eyes, bad legs and feet, and weak safety awareness, so they are particularly prone to danger. ”
It's really sad! A lovely child should never leave this world, and if parents could always keep an eye on their children and keep such a big water tank at home, such an accident would not have happened.
Coincidentally, a child in Hubei also accidentally fell into the bath tub, but fortunately, a family member found it in time and avoided a tragedy.
The safety of children is more important than anything else, and as caregivers of children, we must always pay attention to safety issues!
It's not just drowning outdoors, accidents can happen in seemingly safe homes.
Where are children at risk of drowning, both at home and outdoors?
Pool & Bath:
Unsupervised children are prone to drowning accidents in swimming pools, bathtubs, and water tanks.
Even if the water is more than 5cm, there is a risk of drowning!
Especially for younger children, they may not be able to adapt to unexpected situations in the water, such as slippery feet, fear, crying that leads to emotional instability, lying down or falling, face down, can lead to drowning accidents.
Containers and utensils in the home:
For example, washbasins, bath tubs, fish tanks, water tanks, etc.
Unsupervised children may climb into these containers, but drowning accidents are susceptible due to the child's limited abilities.
Areas with water:
Such as rivers, lakes, beaches, creeks, etc.
These places are turbulent, the underwater situation is complex, and the danger is high.
Children are prone to drowning when they are not supervised by professionals and guardians.
As parents, what can we do to prevent children from drowning?
1. Guardianship of children:
Whether at home or outdoors in the water, we should always keep an eye on our children.
Especially for younger children, they need more parental companionship and supervision.
We must not look at our mobile phones, do not chat, do not wander, always stay vigilant, observe whether there are dangerous things that may happen around our children, and ensure the safety of our children.
2. Give your child a proper education:
We need to tell our children not to go to dangerous places and not to play in areas with water, and also to teach them water safety skills such as swimming, floating, etc.
Educate them on how to deal with the danger of drowning and how to save themselves if they encounter a drowning accident.
At the same time, we should also tell children not to enter or wade in water alone, and that prevention is better than cure.
3. Install protective facilities:
In the necessary areas of the home, suitable protective equipment can be installed, such as safety gates, railings, etc., which can prevent children from entering the dangerous area.
For families with swimming pools or bathtubs, installing protective nets or fences can effectively reduce the risk of drowning for children.
4. Learn first aid knowledge:
We should also learn some common first aid skills so that we can deal with them in time when a child is in danger or drowning.
For example, basic first-aid skills such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration may be used in an emergency.
