Children's safety in summer: ponds, insects and sun

Summer is the shortest and most awaited time of the year for children and their parents. While you have the opportunity, you want to do everything: take a walk, swim, ride a bike, and do other exciting things that you never have time for in winter. And so that the long holidays are not overshadowed by injuries and illnesses, it is enough to follow the summer safety rules for children: both adults and, of course, the children themselves.

Even if your child is a model of responsibility and caution, still remind him often of the basics of safe behavior in the summer. As the experience of traumatologists and pediatricians shows, even adults do not always know how to behave in an emergency situation, and children even more so.

Preparing for outdoor recreation

If you plan to spend time in nature, you should prepare for this pastime in advance.

  1. It is recommended to choose clothing that will tightly cover your neck, arms and legs from dangerous insects and animals such as ticks, ants and snakes.
  2. Care should be taken to purchase a headdress made of thick fabric.
  3. It is better not to wear a scarf, as it can get caught on branches of trees or bushes.
  4. The importance of communication devices should not be underestimated. It is advisable for a person going to nature to take a mobile phone with him. The vacationer should also have matches, a knife and a watch.
  5. You can use an insect repellent, especially if the vacationer plans to stay in an open area or in a tent for a long time.
  6. If a vacationer plans to have a picnic, then he needs to take care of purchasing garbage containers in advance. All waste left over after eating must be placed in bags or special containers and thrown away in designated areas.

Basic rules of behavior in nature

  1. It is not recommended to stay in nature until dark.
  2. You should not leave the paths and trails.
  3. If a person realizes that he is lost, he should listen to the surrounding sounds. The noise of cars or the barking of a dog can help you find directions to the nearest town.
  4. You should not rest near anthills, wasp nests and other dangerous objects. Before setting up your tent, you need to carefully inspect the surrounding area.
  5. You should not pick unfamiliar berries and mushrooms, as they can be poisonous.
  6. It is not recommended to drink water from reservoirs, as there is a high probability that it is unsuitable for drinking.
  7. It is important to avoid using devices that play loud music as it may disturb animals. Sharp unnatural sounds frighten animals, making them irritable and aggressive.
  8. Avoid using eau de parfum or perfume as strong odors may attract insects.

What should a child know before going outdoors?

Children's favorite way to get to know the world around them is to put everything they can get their hands on into their mouths. Therefore, wildlife objects can cause danger. It is worth explaining to the little ones that they cannot try the berries they encounter without showing them to adults. The same applies to other gifts of nature.

Older children should be taught how to move around the forest correctly: you shouldn’t rush around headlong, because if you trip over a random stone or root you can be seriously injured.

The main dos and don'ts

Can be done with adultsCan't do
Approach bodies of waterRun away from adults
Play in the waterGo far into the forest
Approach an open fireThrow garbage
Collect bouquetsAimlessly pick flowers and grass
Collect berries and nutsTry raw mushrooms, unfamiliar fruits
Look at anthillsPick up fauna representatives

It is useful to explain to children that all living beings have the right to live and grow. Therefore, you cannot kill insects, spoil berry bushes and mushrooms, even poisonous ones. Every plant and animal is an important part of the ecosystem; deprivation of one representative of flora or fauna can negatively affect nature.

When in the forest with a child, take care of his safety:

  • the baby should not be in the sun for too long;
  • clothes should be as bright as possible so that the child can be clearly seen.

Pack and take a small first aid kit with you, because a young city dweller who is not accustomed to insects and plants may get hurt or react too sensitively to pollen.

A portable first aid kit should contain:

  • hydrogen peroxide;
  • brilliant green or iodine;
  • Activated carbon;
  • burn remedy;
  • antihistamine;
  • repellent and remedy for mosquito and bumblebee bites;
  • antibacterial wet wipes.

After finishing an amazing forest adventure, remind your child that all garbage must be collected and taken with them, and the fire must be extinguished to prevent a forest fire.

It is necessary to follow simple rules of behavior in nature; for children, following them will be a guarantor of safety, will help them learn a caring attitude towards living beings, vision and understanding of beauty, and will instill in children a love for their native land.

Children's safety in the summer - general rules

Brief instructions on basic summer safety rules:

Bathing

You can only swim in places equipped for swimming; you cannot swim far or play unsafe games.

Sun

You should always wear a hat during the day - not only on sunny days, but also when there are clouds in the sky. Avoid being in direct sunlight for too long.

Food and water

It is necessary to carefully check the expiration date of products, do not take perishable food into nature, try to drink more clean, unsweetened water and always wash your hands before eating.

Insects

If there is a potentially dangerous insect (bee, wasp) nearby, you need to avoid sudden movements.

Communication

If a child is walking without his parents, he can only communicate with people he knows well. You can't call for help as a joke.

Are you worried about your child when he walks without your accompaniment? Rest assured that he is safe and in no danger. Download the “Where are my children” application from the AppStore and GooglePlay stores.

Movement

It is imperative to look at your feet. And not only so as not to trample mushrooms and flowers, but also so as not to fall off the slope, not to step on a snake, etc. If there are paths in the area you need to walk through, then it is best to follow them. If a large group of vacationers has gathered in a clearing, it is better to disperse so as not to disturb the vegetation cover.

To avoid damaging lichen and moss, it is better to move on them when they are wet. You cannot go straight down the slopes. Ideally, you need to move at low speed and in zigzags.

Camp setup

There are certain rules of behavior in nature for pitching tents and bivouacs. They need to be installed in a safe and open place, but not in clearings with moss. If you plan to plant them near water, it is better to do this outside the water protection zone. Dead wood is used for tent poles. Or you can take the stands with you, as well as pegs for fastening to the ground.

For toilets and food waste, you need to dig a hole, but no closer than 50 m from the reservoir. When leaving, you should bury it, or cover it with removed turf, and all debris should be burned. What will not burn, take it with you (products made of plastic, iron and glass).

Rules of conduct on the river

Swimming is a favorite activity for children, but cool river water can be dangerous. It is important to know the rules, which in Russia have not changed much since the 19th century. Rules of behavior for children on the water:

  • You should not dive in unfamiliar places.
  • Do not play dangerous games with capture.
  • In winter and spring, do not go on the ice.
  • If you don’t know how to swim, use armbands or an inflatable ring.
  • You cannot drink water from the pond.
  • Don't swim too far. Unless you are a strong swimmer, avoid long distance throws. This could end badly.
  • Do not enter the water while intoxicated. Especially in the heat. Low water temperature and high air temperature will cause temperature shock. This is fraught with consequences.
  • Pay attention to special signs and pointers describing the rules of behavior in nature; the pictures depicted on them will help you find your way.
  • If there is a sign indicating that swimming is prohibited, do not take risks.
  • Having discovered a previously unfamiliar body of water, try to analyze whether it is suitable for swimming. Muddy water, strange snags, lack of flow and stagnant water are bad signs. Good – no thickets nearby, running water at an acceptable temperature.


What are the rules of behavior in nature for children near water:

  • Don't let children go too deep;
  • Check the water temperature; children should not be in water with a temperature below 26 degrees;
  • Acceptable residence time is up to 10 minutes. In warmer water – from 20;
  • Do not allow your child to swallow water. Explain that this is dangerous;
  • Provide your child with safety devices. Teach basic swimming skills so that your baby can stay on the surface.

What water safety signs look like

In preschool institutions, educators carry out explanatory work on the safety of children on the water. These include conversations and lectures; it could be a presentation where water safety signs will be placed on the slides. Of course, not everyone at this age can read, but they are all able to remember the designation of these signs and their meaning.

For your information! The most important sign is the one framed in green. It depicts a man swimming. This is how swimming places are designated.

The same green frame depicts two kids standing in the water. This sign identifies swimming areas.

An identical frame depicts a swimming dog. This is a place for animals to bathe.

Signs you need to know

A swimming man is depicted in a red frame against a background of blue water. The frame is crossed out diagonally in red. Swimming is prohibited here.

These are the basic water safety signs that a preschool child should know.

Pedagogical project on the topic: “Children’s safety in nature”

MUNICIPAL AUTONOMOUS PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION KINDERGARTEN No. 58 “PEARL” SHCHELKOVSKY MUNICIPAL DISTRICT OF THE MOSCOW REGION

Educator: Ivanyukhina R.P. Shchelkovo

One of the tasks in the work of a preschool institution is to protect the life and health of children. Adults must protect and protect the child, prepare him to face various difficult and sometimes dangerous life situations. A child is interested in absolutely everything: he wants to touch, taste, feel, see, hear. A child’s natural curiosity in understanding the world around him can become unsafe for him. A child, not knowing the rules of safe behavior, can harm not only the environment, but also himself (for example, picking poisonous plants, trying unfamiliar berries, picking up mushrooms, touching insects and animals, etc.).

Therefore, the issues of instilling in children the skills of safe behavior, the ability to anticipate dangerous situations and, if possible, avoid them are very relevant. As a result of conversations with children, games, and observations during walks, it was revealed that children are practically unfamiliar with the basic rules of behavior in nature. It was also revealed that parents are not sufficiently aware of the need to specially familiarize their children with these rules. Based on all this, I chose the theme of the project “Children’s Safety in Nature ,” which is based on developing children’s skills for safe behavior in nature.

There is a formula for safety: You must see, anticipate, take into account. If possible, avoid everything, and where necessary, call for help.

Conclusion.

As a result of the work carried out on this topic, the children learned some rules on the basics of safe behavior in nature. However, knowing this, children do not always act as circumstances require. They often do not see the danger and are unaware of its existence. From all this we can conclude that children have not yet developed the skill of safe behavior. Therefore, I plan to continue working on developing the foundations of children’s safety, as the most important part, both in the senior and preparatory groups.

Animals and birds

Wild animals should not be fed. The foods that humans eat are not always safe for animals and birds. You can't destroy anthills. Many ants are listed in the Red Book.

Rules of behavior in nature prohibit picking up and touching baby animals and chicks. Eggs in nests should not be touched. After this, their parents abandon them and they die. It is also prohibited to take wild animals and birds into a populated area. It is not recommended to take dogs with you on vacation at a time when wild animals are raising offspring. In addition, they will not protect you from meeting a bear, and by barking at the animal, they can anger it and lead it to its owners.

Fire safety in the forest

The forest is a fire hazard

Rules:

  • Fire is one of the biggest dangers in the forest, so young children should not make a fire without an adult.
  • You can't play with fire.
  • If a fire does happen, it is important to run away from the forest in the direction from which the wind is blowing.
  • Be sure to inform an adult about the fire.

For your information! Parents should surround the child with care and attention so as not to leave them alone, and children would not want to play with fire. Safety in the forest for children depends entirely on the behavior of adults.

Where to light a fire outdoors?

To avoid causing a fire, light a fire in an open space, away from trees and bushes.

Put out the fire

Mandatory rule in nature! Make sure you completely extinguish the fire. You can’t even imagine how many forests are dying from fires because a fire is left unextinguished.

Memo to parents and children

Child safety reminder - the most important things:

  • you cannot communicate with strangers - even if they are women or other children;
  • if they try to take a child somewhere by force, you need to scream and try to attract the attention of adults by absolutely any means;
  • if a child suspects that he is being persecuted, he must contact a policeman or go to a place where there are people (bank, cafe) and from there contact his parents;
  • check if the child knows the phone number of at least one of the parents by heart - a son or daughter’s personal phone may get lost or run out of power, and it will be difficult to contact relatives without knowing the number by heart;
  • if they try to attack a child in the entrance, let him loudly shout “Fire!”, knock on all the doors, break windows: in the event of an attack in the entrance, any means of attracting the attention of adults are acceptable;
  • always know where your child is now and what he is doing using the application on your phone or GPS watch “Where are my children”: in real time you will know where your child is now, and where he has already been, and in case of danger Receive an alarm even if the call is not possible.

Despite the possible dangers, summer always remains the favorite time of year for both children and their parents. In the summer there are no educational worries, but there are many opportunities for bringing the family together: trips to nature, general sports activities, games and walks. Don't forget about reasonable safety rules - and don't let any troubles ruin your summer!

Responsibility for non-compliance with the rules of behavior in nature

There is a fairly simple law at work here. It states that ignorance is no excuse. Thus, everyone is personally responsible, even if they did not know how to behave in nature. There is a fine for some actions. Illegal poaching, for example, is criminalized. The penalty is a fine of 500,000 rubles, or two years in prison. The same punishment applies for illegal logging.

A better way to get acquainted with the rules of behavior in nature are pictures that contain a fairly general picture for all types of violations. From the video you will learn what you need to take with you into nature so as not to disturb the fragile ecosystem.
