Rules of conduct for children in summer

If a child stays in the city and manages his free time himself, you should definitely have a little conversation with him. Tell him what dangers may lie in wait for him and how to avoid them. At the same time, do not forbid the child to walk on the street, do not close it at home before you come home from work.

Let him be on his own. But be warned about the following:

1. If a stranger molests a child on the street, then the best reaction is – screaming "Help! I don’t know this person!”, trying to run away. As soon as the pursuer managed to get away – You need to call your parents right away. Safe places on the street where you can hide from a stranger – bank, shop, pharmacy, subway.

2. If an outsider attacked at the entrance – you need to shout "Fire", not "Help". Tell the child that in the first case, someone will definitely go to the stairwell, and in the second – people themselves will be frightened and simply call the police (and even then – not always).

3. Have your child memorize the phone numbers of their parents. This will help him in an emergency when he needs to make a call, and the mobile is dead or lost.

4. Tell the child why the children's swing must be bypassed from the side, being away from them.

5. You can not swim behind the buoys on the beach, dive and jump into the water in unfamiliar places. You can not swim on a mattress or a circle far from the shore.

6. Drink more water during the heat. For this, sweet carbonated drinks are not suitable.

7. In hot weather, it is better not to buy street food – it can be poisoned.

8. Talk about not getting close to stray dogs. Especially if there are puppies nearby.

9. Do not bring home strangers or children that the child has just met.
