It's the children's winter break, so if you haven't had enough fun during the Spring Festival, grab the rest of the holiday!

However, children's safety problems (such as tracheoesophageal foreign bodies, falls, burns and scald accidents, etc.) during the holidays cannot be ignored.

For example, children aged two or three were accidentally choked by foreign bodies such as peanuts, melon seeds and jelly. Due to the negligence of the parents, the children were scalded, burned, or fell from the building... These injuries, which could have been prevented, resulted in irreparable tragedy.

Here to remind everyone, the holiday must not be taken lightly, is to play at home, but also pay attention to safety. Good first aid common sense, everyone is necessary to master.

No. 1 Location of Accidents

Home, which sounds warm and peaceful, full of peace and beauty, is actually the "first high incidence" of children's injuries.

Foreign body asphyxiation, scald, drowning and so on are the main cause of death of children from injuries. Statistics show that hundreds of thousands of children under the age of 14 die from injuries every year in China.

The child spends the most time at home, where everything is in place, and the child and caregiver are in a relaxed and non-alert state. These factors combine to create a high incidence of risk in the home. Especially this year the winter vacation duration is relatively long, the children have a holiday, their curiosity is very strong, what things want to touch, move. Although a child's curiosity needs to be protected, danger has to be guarded.

Since home and not like a children's playground or kindergarten, try to exclude it is dangerous for child items, but not a lot of reduce the time of the child to stay at home, so parents can do, is always vigilant, including establishing comprehensive security consciousness, understand the dangerous high-risk areas and objects in the home, some authoritative knowledge of first aid, And do a good job of placing goods and dangerous coping methods.

When decorating for example, the position of power socket in the home should be higher than 1.6 meters, avoid children contact, wire also should not be exposed outside; Electric fans, electric heaters and other electrical appliances should have protective cover; Matches, lighters and so on in the home, it is best to put the children can not see, can not reach the place; Try to keep children out of touch with gas stoves, water heaters, etc.

The dangers vary at different times

The child develops so fast that when he was born, he can't even turn his head. He will walk away in a twinkling of an eye. According to the development law of the baby, "2 months will look up, 4 months can turn over, 6 months can sit, 7 months can roll, 8 months can crawl, 1 year old can walk", even after school, different periods, the child may face different dangers.

Four months ago, a child would not have rolled over. At this time, if the child accidentally covered his mouth and nose with clothes, towels or quilts, there was no way to pull them away or shift them, and choking was likely. After four months, a child will roll over, and after eight months, he will crawl, and the danger of falling out of bed is greatly increased. There are very few children in life who never fall out of bed.

After the age of 1, the child has the ability to walk independently, the scope of activities is expanded, the danger that may be exposed to will increase, scald, electric shock and other accidents frequently occur. Children of 2 ~ 3 years old are curious, active, and lack of judgment. They are particularly confident and confident in their hearts. They are also prone to accidents.

If your child has reached the primary and secondary school stage, with the growth of age, the child's knowledge, experience, independence, scope of activity, exposure to danger is also increasing, drowning, car accidents and other injuries are increasing.

In addition, the child often lacks life experience and dangerous consciousness, discernment ability and foresight are worse than adults, slow to dangerous reaction, lack of the knowledge and ability to avoid danger and escape.

Let's do a security overhaul

Representatives of the Global Organization for Safe Children once walked into a child's home in Shanghai and found more than 10 potential safety hazards for children, including balconies and Windows. In order to create a safe home environment for children, experts especially put forward the 5S principles of household articles safety inspection, namely See, String, Size, Surface and Standard.

First: "See."

Parents who are used to "Brobdingnag" often forget that their children use things in a "Lilliputian" way, so learn to look at things with a child's eye.

Second: "Strings"

Children's curiosity may lead them to play with long lashes, which may cause the lashes to wrap around their necks. Therefore, children should not be exposed to long lashes.

Third: "Size"

Children like to explore the world with their mouths. Too small items can easily be put in their mouths and cause suffocation, so the younger the child, the bigger the items the parents should give.

Fourth, "Surface"

Some sharp edges and rough edges of the surface of household items are easy to cause damage, so parents should try to ensure that the surface of the items is smooth and soft.

Fifth: "Standard"

When buying household items, parents should carefully check the safety standards associated with children's products.
