"PRESCHOOL CHILDREN'S SAFETY"

Consultation on life safety for kindergarten parents

The main advantage of preschoolers in teaching personal safety is that children of this age follow clearly formulated instructions from their parents in connection with age-related characteristics. It is necessary to highlight the rules of behavior that children will follow, since their health and safety depend on this. These rules should be explained in detail to children and then monitored for their implementation. The task of adults is not only to protect and protect the child, but also to prepare him to face various difficult and sometimes dangerous life situations. The child must know information about himself : first name, last name, address and telephone number.

Mark the “friend-stranger” : set rules regarding strangers and monitor their implementation. Explain to your child: a stranger is any person he does not know (regardless of how he behaves or who he imagines himself to be). To form a more accurate understanding of who is “your” and “stranger” people, ask them to depict in one drawing those people whom they consider “theirs” (mom, dad, grandmother, etc.), and in another drawing - strangers, strangers (seller, passerby, etc.). If the child depicted someone else in the first picture, in addition to family members, for example: a teacher, a mother’s friend, a friend, explain that such people are called “acquaintances.” Offer to draw them in the third picture. It wouldn't hurt to run a few learning experiments to test your understanding of these rules. For example, a mother or father can agree with an acquaintance whom the child does not know so that he tries to get to know the baby and invites him to come with him. After the experiment, of course, you need to discuss with the child his reaction. If the child is left alone at home: he must clearly understand that the door cannot be opened to ANYONE except his mother (father, grandmother - specify the circle of people). Household items that are sources of potential danger to children are divided into three groups: - items that are strictly prohibited to use (matches, gas stoves, sockets, turned on electrical appliances); - objects that, depending on the age of the children, need to be learned to handle correctly (needle, scissors, knife); - items that adults should store in places inaccessible to children (household chemicals, medicines, alcoholic beverages, cigarettes, cutting and stabbing instruments).

If a fire occurs in the absence of adults, it is important for the child to know the following: - do not hide under the table, in the closet or under the bed (firefighters may not immediately notice the child and may not have time to save him); - If possible, run out onto the balcony or look out the window and scream for help.

When preparing your child to go to school independently or ride a bike in the yard, you should walk around the entire yard with him, noting potentially dangerous places.

Make an agreement with your child, according to which he will only move along the safe route agreed with you and will not take shortcuts, especially in desert areas. This agreement is the basis of street safety. The child must remember the following rules. 1.Do not go outside without adults.
2.Do not play on the sidewalk near the roadway. 3. Cross the road only at a pedestrian crossing when the traffic light is green. 4. Ride a bicycle in the city only where there are no cars. 5. Small children should ride a bicycle only in the presence of adults; children of older preschool age, even in the presence of adults, should not ride a bicycle on the sidewalk, as they can interfere with pedestrians, run over a small child, hit an elderly person, push a stroller with a baby .
6.Be attentive, but not overly cautious or cowardly.
7. It’s good to know the landmarks in the area of your home. 8.Walk in the middle of the sidewalk, avoiding bushes and doors, especially abandoned houses. 9.Know all the safe places where you can hide and get help. 10.Do not attract attention to yourself by your demeanor.
Safety in public transport

Parents should remember that young children should not travel on public transport without an adult. But gradually children need to be prepared for this. For example, the child should know his route well, mainly the pick-up and drop-off stations. He must also know all the landmarks and street names along the route. Explain to your child that he must see and notice everything.

Advise your child to sit next to the driver or controller and wait for the bus only in a well-lit place. Of course, strengthen your child’s faith in his own instinct. He should leave as soon as he feels any discomfort. If a stranger speaks to him, he needs to attract the attention of others so that if necessary, someone can come to his aid. When using public transport, the following rules must be observed. 1. You cannot show money to attract attention. 2. You cannot go close to the edge of the road when boarding a bus, especially during icy periods. 3. You cannot stand at the doors - this interferes with the entry and exit of passengers. 4.You cannot lean out or stick your hands out of open windows. 5. It is customary to give way to elderly people, passengers with small children, and disabled people. “Road Safety” You can cross the street only at pedestrian crossings. They are indicated by a special sign “Pedestrian crossing”

If there is no underground crossing, you must use a crossing with a traffic light. Outside populated areas, children are only allowed to walk with adults along the edge towards cars. If your parents have forgotten which side to go around a bus or tram, you can remind them that it is dangerous to go around these vehicles both in front and behind. You need to go to the nearest pedestrian crossing and cross the street along it. Under no circumstances should you run out onto the road. You have to stop before the road. You cannot play on the roadway or on the sidewalk. It is safest to cross the street in a group with a group of pedestrians. When the car is moving: — teach children to sit in the car only in the back seat; do not allow anyone to sit next to the driver unless the front seat is equipped with a child seat; — do not allow a small child to stand in the back seat while driving: in the event of a collision or sudden stop, he may fly over the back of the seat and hit the front window; - Do not allow children to be in the vehicle unattended.

The best way to teach children has always been by example. If you want to teach your child safety rules, first of all, follow them yourself. Talk to your children as often as possible and help them solve even minor problems.

Safety tips for parents

Dear parents! You are a role model for children. You are an object of love and imitation for a child. This must always be remembered, and even more so when you take a step onto the roadway with your baby.

To prevent your child from getting into trouble, teach him respect for the rules of the road patiently, daily, unobtrusively. The child should only play in the yard under your supervision. He must know: you can’t go out on the road. Do not intimidate the child, but watch with him and take advantage of the situation on the road, yard, street; Explain what happens to transport and pedestrians. Develop your child's visual memory and attention. To do this, create game situations at home. Let your baby lead you to kindergarten and home from kindergarten. Your child should know: you can’t go out on the road; You can cross the road only with adults, holding the hand of an adult; you need to cross the road at a calm pace; pedestrians are people walking along the street; in order for there to be order on the road, so that there are no accidents, so that a pedestrian does not get hit by a car, you must obey the traffic light: red light - no traffic, yellow light - attention, and green says: “Pass the path is open”;

There are different types of cars (trucks, cars); this is transport. The cars are driven by drivers. The highway (road) is intended for transport. When we travel in public transport, we are called passengers. While riding in public transport, you should not lean out of the window.

Consultation for parents “Safe behavior of children on the street”

MUNICIPAL AUTONOMOUS PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION KINDERGARTEN No. 41 “SWALLOW” ULAN-UDE,

Educator: Zalutskaya E.V. December 2016

Parents must remember that they are the main example for their child of correct and safe behavior on the street. It is necessary to promptly teach children how to navigate traffic situations, to instill in the child the need to be disciplined and attentive, cautious and prudent.

Remember! By breaking traffic rules, you are, as it were, tacitly allowing your children to break them!

Teach your child not to rush when crossing the street, to cross the roadway only when no one or nothing is blocking his view, and before crossing, wait for the vehicle to pull away from the stop. Once next to a standing bus, invite your child to stop and look carefully to see if a car is approaching.

According to statistics, every fifth child injured in an accident subsequently becomes a patient at a psychoneurological dispensary, since the brain, which is responsible for the development of the child, is the first to be injured in accidents.

In childhood, there is no skill in safe behavior on the streets and roads, the ability to observe: inspect your path, notice a car, evaluate its speed, direction of movement, the possibility of a car suddenly appearing from behind a stationary vehicle, from behind bushes, kiosks, fences.

The road from home to kindergarten and back is ideal for giving a child knowledge and developing skills for safe behavior on the street. A child develops a whole range of habits from early childhood. That is why, starting from 1.5-2 years, it is necessary to form a set of “transport” habits in him.

When accompanying a child, parents must comply with the following requirements:

Leave the house early so that the child gets used to walking slowly.
Be sure to stop before crossing the road. Cross the road at a measured pace.
Teach children to cross the road only at pedestrian crossings.
Never go out onto the roadway because of standing vehicles or other objects that block your view.
When you see a tram, trolleybus, bus standing on the opposite side, do not rush, do not run.
When going out onto the roadway, stop extraneous conversations with your child; he should get used to the need to focus his attention on the road.
Cross the street strictly at right angles.
Cross the road only when the traffic light is green, and first make sure that the crossing is safe.
When crossing and at public transport stops, hold your child's hand tightly.
Get out of the vehicle in front of the child so that the baby does not fall.
Involve your child in monitoring the situation on the road.
Show the safe way to kindergarten, school, store.
Never break traffic rules in the presence of a child.

By the time a child enters school, he must have learned and observed the following rules of behavior on the street and in transport:

Only play away from the road.
Cross the street where crossing signs are indicated, at intersections along the sidewalk line.
Cross the street only at a walk, do not run.
Watch the traffic light when crossing the street.
When crossing the street, look first to the left, then to the right.
Don't cross the path of oncoming traffic
Always pass trams from the front.
Enter any type of transport and exit it only when it is stationary.
Do not lean out of the window of a moving vehicle.
Get out of the car only on the right side when it has approached the sidewalk or side of the road.
Do not ride your bicycle on the roadway.
If you are lost on the street, don't cry. Ask an adult passerby or police officer to help.

The child will learn all the concepts firmly if he is introduced to the rules of the road systematically, unobtrusively. Using appropriate situations for this on the street, in the yard, on the road. When you are on the street with your baby, it is useful to explain to him everything that is happening on the road with vehicles and pedestrians. Pay attention to violators, noting that by breaking the rules they risk getting into trouble.

Don’t frighten your child on the street - panicky fear of transport is no less harmful than safety and inattention!

A little experiment

Ask - and a schoolchild, even a preparatory student will correctly and smartly answer the questions “What will you do if there is a knock on the door, and you are at home alone... If a person you don’t know offers you a ride in a car... He treats you to candy... He tells you that there, around the corner, Mom is waiting for you... She’ll let you pet her dog, and then offer to take a walk and play with her...” And you will be in complete confidence: “Well, mine knows how to behave.”

Alas, we will disappoint you. A child has a large gap between word and deed. In theory, he may know perfectly well what danger is and what to do, but in practice he may not use his knowledge. Why? Because that’s how a child’s head is designed. When something interesting, new, unusual, or simply any temptation appears, a child can easily fall for it. Try, for example, asking your friend, whose voice the child does not know, to call you at home, start a conversation with your son or daughter and try to find out if he is alone at home and when the parents will return. He will lay it out completely, and at the same time, quite likely, he will also tell you his home address. But, it’s true, you’ve said more than once that you shouldn’t tell strangers either that “there’s no one at home” or where you live.

Whatever you teach your child - to say (and even repeat it a hundred times) - it is not enough! Teaching tactics must be different - taking into account the peculiarities of thinking and interests of our children! Any safety rules must not only be communicated, but - this is the main thing - reinforced and introduced into everyday practice. They must be so firmly ingrained in the head that at the right moment they work automatically, literally at the level of reflexes!

In fact, they should become a habit of behaving in such and such a way. Only then will the child not be confused, only then will he be able to orient himself in time in an alarming situation and stand up for himself.

Safety rules: teaching children without scaring them

If children's personal safety skills are properly developed and supported, they will help them feel secure when interacting with most people, most of the time. This article is a guide for young people to personal safety, self-confidence and self-advocacy.

Children are at risk of attack, abduction and abuse even in the most caring homes, schools and communities. But there are simple and effective ways to teach children to protect themselves, and these methods are suitable for almost any situation. After all, skills and knowledge are the key to their safety.

Parents, teachers and educators should know that children are more likely to suffer from people they know than from strangers. Therefore, children need to know clear safety rules both for strangers when no one is around and for maintaining boundaries when communicating with people they know.

Anyone can be a molester - a neighbor, a relative, a family friend, a youth group leader, a teacher, even another child. The best way to protect children from violence is to know what is happening to them. Ask your child often: “Are you sharing with me everything that interests you and what you worry about? Remember: you can trust me completely,” listen to their answers patiently, with great respect.

Children should understand that there are important safety rules when they are alone and not under the care of their parents. Children are left to their own devices, even when they are separated from the adult responsible for them for only a short time and a short distance. In this case, there is no need to worry. Children just need to know what they need to do.

Simply telling children about safety rules or showing them what to do is not enough. When we first talk to them about danger, their increasing awareness can increase their level of anxiety. Young people learn better through active practice. Practicing children's personal safety skills improves their competence and self-confidence. It is important to develop these skills so that children are not afraid, but fun and interesting.

Tips on how to talk to children about strangers

“Stranger Danger” is a term that only increases anxiety while making it difficult to think through ways to help children stay safe.

Instead, talk about safety rules when meeting a “stranger.” Instead of talking about something bad and scary, which sometimes actually happens, it is better to focus on teaching and practicing the skills and behaviors that you want your children to develop in order to communicate safely with strangers.

Stay calm when you talk to children about strangers. If your voice sounds anxious, this anxiety will be passed on to your children. Talking about “dangerous strangers” or scary stories can increase anyone's fear and anxiety. Instead, tell your children with conviction that you think the vast majority of people are good, and that this means that most strangers are also good, but some of them have problems that may cause them to bully children.

Tell children they don't have to be afraid of strangers as long as they follow safety rules. If children are alone, the first rule is that before talking to strangers or people you barely know, you need to ask their parents for permission. Help children find specific examples of people they know well and those they don't so that the child can model the corresponding situation.

Safety rules for children when they are alone

Most people are good. This means that most strangers are good too.
A stranger is just someone I don’t know, and he can look like anything.
The safety rules that apply when I have parents taking care of me are different from those when I am on my own without anyone's help. When I'm alone, the first thing I have to do is contact my parents and see if a stranger can come up to me, talk to me, and give me anything.
If I'm old enough to be on my own without my parents, it's safer to be where there are other people nearby who can help me if necessary.
I don't give personal information to a stranger or anyone who makes me feel uncomfortable.
It is normal to get help from strangers if I have an emergency and no one I know is nearby.
Before going anywhere with anyone (a stranger or someone I know), I should ask my parents about this. I have to tell my parents where I am going, who will be with me and what I will do.
I need to have a plan for keeping myself safe and getting help where I go.
I know that my family's safety rules include the children answering the door when the doorbell rings, talking on the phone, and using the Internet.

To comply with these rules, children must practice and know the following skills:

How to stand and walk carefully, alertly, calmly, with self-respect and confidence.
How to move away from a stranger and stay out of the reach of the approaching person.
How to leave a stranger immediately, even if this person seems very nice.
How to consult with parents first, even if someone the child knows and trusts says not to do so.
How to get help from a busy or unresponsive adult if your child is lost or scared.
How to make noise, run away and get to safety in case of an emergency.
What to do and say if a stranger approaches your child at home.

Rules for safe behavior of children with familiar people

I belong to myself: my body, my time, my soul - it’s all mine. Any touching for play, to tease me, or out of affection for me must be consensual and safe.
Except for medical purposes, no one should touch my private parts (parts of the body hidden by underwear or bathing suit).
No one should ask me to allow them to touch my private parts.
Touching or other behavior for health or safety reasons may not always be consensual, but such touching should never be hidden from parents.
I shouldn't let other people control how I feel.
Everything that worries me should not be a secret.
If I have problems, I should tell a trusted adult about them and keep talking about them until I get help.
It's never too late to get help.

To comply with these rules, children must practice the following skills:

Say “no” to unwanted or inappropriate behavior using polite words, eye contact, and assertive body language.
Stand your ground even when someone uses bribery, hurtful words, or force to pressure your child into doing something he doesn't want to do.
Protect yourself from hurtful words.
Say words that help you avoid potentially dangerous situations.
Get the attention of busy adults and talk in detail about situations that cause confusion and discomfort.

This article covers just a few child safety skills.

Personal safety skills can develop quickly and help children stay safe in most interactions with strangers and with people they know, especially if parents teach and practice these skills with children.
