This year, Child Safety Week is commemorated on June 6-12, 2022. Child Safety Week is organized by Child Accident Prevention Thrust to raise awareness of the risks of child accidents both inside and outside the home and how to prevent them.
For New Parents, maybe sometimes you still like to be confused about how to keep your little one protected and safe without disturbing their various life activities. One of the duties of parents is to maintain the safety and security of their little ones by supervising and accompanying children while playing. In addition, MAKUKU also summarizes some tips so that your little one is safe and comfortable in various activities:
While at home
- Provide guardrails to rooms or areas that your little one cannot reach unsupervised, such as stairs or bathrooms and kitchens.
- Pay attention to cables, plugs, and electrical tools in the house so they don't fall apart.
- Items that are too small should be kept out of reach, so as not to be swallowed and he could choke.
- Store sharps and hazardous chemicals in lockable cabinets.
- Store chemicals out of reach of children.
- Use a movable guardrail, so that he can keep playing around moms and dads while at work or at home, but keep your little one separate and safe.
- Add foam protectors on table and chair elbows.
- Choose toys based on your child's needs and pay attention to any toys that are damaged or unfit for use.
- Make sure the doors and windows are locked properly.
When active outside the home or public places
- Teach children to memorize the home address.
- Teach children to cross the road safely, reminding them to look at both sides of the road, stay away from vehicles and cross at zebra crossings.
- Walk on sidewalks and don't walk in the middle of the highway.
- Keep an eye on your little one when outside the house.
Teaching children about personal safety can start early. It is important for your little one to understand the situation in the surrounding environment even though it is not easy to follow the directions of parents. Parents should not take their eyes off children under the age of six. So, moms and dads should always accompany their little ones wherever they are. (Aq/ MKK)
