Important things for the safety of children

New Delhi: Nowadays, it has become normal for children to go to their friends’ houses and play or do group study. At the age of 9 to 12, children start considering themselves more independent and intelligent. But at this age, parents’ concerns about their safety also increase. Therefore, it is necessary to teach some important things before sending children to someone else’s house, so that they can remain safe in every situation.

In case of discomfort, inform immediately

It is important to explain to children that if someone says or does something that makes them feel awkward, they should tell their parents immediately. Children should be assured that they can express their views without any fear.

Be careful when saying ‘don’t tell mom and dad’

It should be made clear to children that if someone asks them to hide something from their parents, they should tell this thing at home. Such signs can help protect children from bad situations.

Give information about good touch and bad touch

Every child should be aware of the safety of his body. They should be told that they have rights over their bodies and if someone tries to touch them inappropriately, they should immediately protest and report it to a trusted elder.

Don’t stay silent on wrong videos or conversations

Sometimes children watch things or videos that are not appropriate for their age. Teach them that if any content or behavior bothers them, they should share it with their parents immediately instead of hiding it. This will help them get the right guidance.

It is necessary to take permission before going anywhere else

If the child is planning to go from a friend’s house to a park, market or any other place, he should inform his parents first. It is not safe to go anywhere else without giving information.

Talk openly to children

The safety of children is ensured not only by making rules but also by trustful communication. Parents should talk to children regularly and create an environment where children can share everything without hesitation. This habit will make them safe and confident in future also.
