Most child injuries can be avoided and prevented, so injuries are not "accidents". In order to prevent children from being injured, the whole society needs to work together. For parents, they must realize effective care and companionship, help their children to assess, identify and eliminate potential safety hazards in the environment, and actively and correctly use child-related safety products. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen safety education for children and improve their safety awareness.
Children drowning and road traffic injuries are the main causes of children's death in China. Drowning is silent and happens quickly. As long as there is water, the child may drown, so be sure to help the child eliminate these safety hazards, including the bathtub, washbasin and bucket at home, and dump the remaining water in time and be sure to cover it. If children go swimming, they must go to places equipped with lifeguards with formal qualifications, and do not go swimming in the wild, dangerous and unsafe waters or water bodies. Even if there is a lifeguard, parents should tell their children to be in the sight of lifeguards, tell them not to take risks in deep water without a deep water certificate, and don't let them overestimate their swimming skills. Open waters must have eye-catching warning signs. Children should do warm-up exercises before swimming, don't do dangerous moves in the water, and don't swim when they are unwell, including hungry, full, or too sleepy and tired. Even when swimming in the swimming pool, minors should be accompanied by their parents or companions. If they feel uncomfortable during swimming, they must send a signal to their companions, parents or lifeguards in time to get out of the water as soon as possible so as not to put themselves in danger.
Life jackets must be worn correctly when carrying out water activities. If a child finds a companion or other person drowning, he must not go into the water to save himself. What children should do is to call for help in time. If circumstances permit, they can find some things from the shore that may help the drowning person and throw them out to help him float, but they must not go into the water to save themselves. Children aged 4-8 can learn some swimming skills, and parents can do it.
Regarding the problem of children's road traffic injuries, the most basic principle is that everyone should abide by the rules and put an end to illegal acts. Parents must strengthen supervision and abide by the rules. /kloc-children under the age of 0/2 should not sit in the co-pilot, don't fasten the adult seat belt directly, and don't hold the child in the car. In the event of a collision, adults can't hold the child. The huge force generated by the suddenly opened airbag is an unbearable blow to the child's delicate body and will bring great harm to the child. Even for short trips, be sure to put the child in the back seat and let him wear a safe and formal child safety restraint system, including children.
No matter how long it takes, don't leave the child alone in the car. Don't take chances, it may hurt the child. Before driving, the driver must see if there are any children playing beside the car. After the electric bicycle is parked, he will pull out the key and put it in a regular place to charge it. Besides, don't bring many people.
Children are not recommended to operate electric balance cars and electric scooters. "Don't use these two as transportation, because it's not safe for children." Finally, China CDC and UNICEF recently launched nine words to prevent child injury to parents, "watch, manage and use correctly".
