At every stage of age, it is decided what should be taught and what should not be taught to children. In today's fast-paced world, children should be taught certain things at a certain age so that they don't fall behind.
Though safety rules cannot guarantee safety, they can help prevent inevitable accidents. Most safety rules are common sense, and children should be taught these safety rules as early as possible to keep themselves away from harm’s way.
Children are usually very curious in their budding age. They tend to explore on their own most of the time. Hence, as a parent it’s our duty to ensure they are safe all the time. Here is a list of four safety tips that you may teach your child.
Your child may be small but it is important to teach basic contact details like your and your partner’s name and contact number. Your child should be able to share your contact number with someone in case of an emergency.
You must inform your child of the risks associated with consuming food that has been offered to them by a stranger. No matter how appetising the treat may be, if it comes from a stranger, your child should not eat it.
This is a very important safety rule for child and you should teach about it as soon as your kid can understand the basics. Teach about good touch and bad touch.
Your child should know that no matter what the reasoning, it is not safe to go anywhere with a stranger. Tell your child that if a stranger tells them something like ‘Your mom asked you to come with me immediately,’ they should stay where they are and shout out for help.
