What are the safety hazards for children on holiday at home? I believe that every parent wants their children to grow up healthily, and children need their parents' care and protection when they grow up. Here I'd like to share with you the hidden dangers of children's holiday at home.
What are the safety hazards for children on holiday at home? 1 "the first high-risk place"
A home that sounds warm and peaceful and full of tranquility and beauty is actually the "first high-risk place" for children's injuries.
Foreign bodies such as asphyxia, scald and drowning are important causes of injury and death of children. Statistics show that hundreds of thousands 14 children and adolescents die of injuries every year in China.
Children spend the longest time at home and have all kinds of things at home. Children and caregivers are basically in a relaxed and unguarded state at home. These major reasons * * * have caused a high incidence of danger at home. In particular, this winter vacation lasted for a long time this year, and all the children had a holiday. They are curious and want to touch and move everything. Although children's curiosity needs to be protected, dangers should also be guarded against.
Since children's playgrounds or kindergartens can't eliminate dangerous items for children as much as possible, and can't significantly reduce children's time at home, what parents can do is to be vigilant at all times, including establishing a comprehensive safety awareness, understanding the high-risk areas and objects in the home, mastering authoritative first aid knowledge, and doing a good job in placing items and handling dangers.
For example, when decorating, the position of the power socket at home should be higher than 1.6 meters to avoid children's contact and the wires should not be exposed; Electric fans, electric heaters and other electrical appliances should have protective covers; Matches, lighters, etc. It's best to put it where children can't see or reach it. Try not to let children touch gas stoves and gas water heaters.
Different periods, different dangers.
The child is developing rapidly. He couldn't even turn his head when he was born, but he was gone in the blink of an eye. According to the law of baby's development, "2 months can raise head, 4 months can turn over, 6 months can sit, 7 months can roll, 8 months can climb, 1 year-old can walk", even after school, children may face different dangers at different times.
Four months ago, children couldn't turn over. At this time, if the child is accidentally covered by clothes, towels or quilts, it is impossible to pull these things away or shift them, which is easy to cause suffocation. Children will turn over after 4 months and get up after 8 months, which greatly increases the risk of falling out of bed. In life, few children have never dropped out of bed.
After 1 year-old, children have the ability to walk independently, the range of activities is expanded, the risks they may be exposed to will also increase, and accidents such as burns and electric shocks will occur frequently. Children aged 2-3 are curious, active and lack of judgment, but they are particularly confident and prone to accidents.
If your child has reached the primary and secondary school stage, with the growth of age, the child's knowledge, experience, experience, sense of independence, scope of activities are increasing day by day, and there are more and more opportunities for exposure to danger, drowning, car accidents and other injuries are also increasing.
In addition, children often lack life experience and danger awareness, and their discrimination and foresight are worse than those of adults. They are slow to respond to danger and lack the knowledge and ability to escape it.
Family safety inspection method
The representative of Global Child Safety Organization once walked into a Children's Home in Shanghai and found that there were more than 10 hidden dangers for children such as balconies and windows. In order to create a safe home environment for children, experts specially put forward the "5S principle of household goods safety inspection", that is, look, string, size, surface and standard.
Number one: "Look".
Parents who are used to "big country" often forget that their children use things at home in a "small country" way, so parents should learn to look at the placement of things from their children's eyes.
Second: "strings"
Children's curiosity will make them play the game of long rope, which will cause the rope to wrap around their necks, so avoid children touching too long rope.
Third: "size"
Children like to explore the world with their mouths. Items that are too small are easy to put in the mouth and cause suffocation, so the smaller the child, the bigger the items given by the parents, the better.
Fourth: "surface"
Some household items with sharp and rough edges are easy to cause injuries, so parents should try their best to ensure that the surface of the items is smooth and soft.
Fifth: "standard"
When purchasing household items, parents should carefully check the safety standards related to children's products.
What are the safety hazards for children on holiday at home? 2 How do children spend their winter holidays safely at home?
Learn to save yourself from fire and theft
Scene 1: Teenagers who have seen Going Home Alone may still clearly remember the amazing courage of ten-year-old Kevin who outwitted two thieves. Two thieves who just escaped from prison broke into the house when nobody was there at Christmas. Kevin used game traps against them and "entertained" two uninvited guests.
Take a warning: although the movie story is exaggerated and interesting, as a smart child, when a person is at home, he should close the doors and windows and lock the doors to prevent thieves from sneaking in. This should be borne in mind. It is out of place to open the door for people to enter at will in this era. Therefore, when children are sensible, they should understand that when strangers knock at the door, they must ask what it is, and don't open the door easily. When the bad guys want to break in by force, they can yell at their neighbors at the windows and balconies or call 1 10.
Don't try to be brave when the appliances and kitchen utensils at home are not used. Once there is a fire at home, if there is smoke, try to lean over or climb out of the door, and cover your nose and mouth with wet towels or clothes to escape. Go out for leisure and entertainment safety first.
Scene 2: In Autonomy Regulation 2, it is another Christmas. The whole family decided to spend their holidays in Florida. When they woke up in the morning, they found that they almost missed their flight and hurried to the airport. Fortunately, they didn't leave Kevin at home again. But in a hurry, Kevin took the wrong flight to new york and lost contact with his family again. On the streets of new york, Kevin came to this completely strange metropolis alone, but he met two big stupid thieves who had been repaired by him.
For example, in Family Rule 2, Kevin was supposed to go to Florida for a holiday with his family, but he missed the flight to new york and ended up alone. It can be seen that we should pay special attention to safety when going out for leisure and holiday, shopping and traveling, and follow our parents closely. If you go out alone, you need to tell your parents the destination, the time to go home, and your traveling companion. On the way out, don't take illegally operated vehicles, unlicensed vehicles and strangers' cars. Squares and shopping malls are sometimes crowded with people. If you encounter a crowded stream of people, you should avoid it immediately or follow the stream of people. Don't try to surpass others, let alone go backwards. Once pushed down, try to get close to the corner, curl up in a ball, and put your hands behind your neck to protect the most vulnerable parts of your body.
Can't be addicted to TV and Internet.
Scene 3: In new york Metropolis, Kevin booked the most famous hotel-Plaza Hotel with his father's credit card. After visiting the luxurious and spacious suite, the waiter asked him, "Can you use TV?" Kevin replied disdainfully, "I am ten years old this year, and TV is my life." So I jumped on the king-sized double bed and began to enjoy the TV series.
Take a warning: There is not a child in this era who doesn't like TV and the Internet. Once children are addicted to TV and Internet, holidays will become a headache for parents. Therefore, experts believe that it is good to relax, watch TV and play games during holidays, but it is necessary for children to make a holiday plan so that they can remind themselves of what to do next and arrange their holiday life more reasonably.
First of all, parents had better make an agreement with their children, so it will be easy to communicate with each other. Parents should guide him to use the computer correctly. There are many good teaching videos and puzzle games on the Internet, which can enrich children's study and life. Parents must not "talk about the discoloration of the Internet" and regard it as a scourge.
Don't overeat snacks.
Scene 4: After swimming, Kevin begins to enjoy his holiday. The room service staff asked him, "Two balls?" Kevin shook his head. "Two goals? Three goals, I am not in a hurry. " So, in the luxurious big bed, Kevin enjoyed ice cream the size of a banana boat, and there were three or four big cakes on the bed. For example, at home, the refrigerator is a paradise for children, because it often stores a lot of food and snacks. During the winter vacation, parents are not around. So it's easy to put down your stomach, overeat and eat snacks. Just like Kevin, when booking a room, you must have a "king bed, TV and a lockable mini refrigerator".
Eating snacks reasonably and moderately is not only a kind of enjoyment of life, but also provides some energy and nutrition. Therefore, it can't be said that eating snacks is unhealthy. The key is that the amount of snacks can't be too much. I kept eating snacks while watching TV and playing online games, and as a result, I unconsciously consumed too much energy.
Nutritionists believe that snacks containing sugar or fat should be eaten as little as possible. Generally speaking, fruits, dairy products, nuts, etc. They are all good snacks. These snacks can be eaten properly between meals, so as not to affect the appetite and food intake of the main meal.
