First, the introduction of situational experience education
When it is convenient or possible, parents can also create some scenes for their children to experience safety education. This can be achieved through the following five channels:
(1) Don't go to other people's houses.
For preschool children, we need to let them move within the sight of their parents as much as possible. If the children are invited to play in Children's Home by their friends, we should also tell them that they need our permission and take them to Children's Home by their families as far as possible. Once the child is out of the parents' sight, we can't predict what kind of people the child will meet in other people's homes, and we can't guarantee that the child will not be hurt unnecessarily. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of sexual assault.
(2) the body can't touch.
When children are very young, we need to teach them to judge important parts of the body and let them know that the body belongs to them. Some parts of the body should be covered with clothes, and no one can look at them, let alone touch them. Children have the right to refuse anyone to touch them.
(3) Don't touch strangers casually.
In a society lacking trust, parents can't guarantee that anyone we don't know won't do more or less harm to their children. The best way is to teach children not to touch strangers casually, including not to walk with strangers, not to eat strangers' food, not to open the door to strangers, and not to believe strangers' words.
(4) Dare to say no
We need to gradually cultivate children's ability to distinguish right from wrong and think independently. Right and wrong, who is right and who is wrong, give children the opportunity to judge and identify from an early age, and let children learn to think and identify themselves. When children encounter unreasonable demands from others, they should be taught to say "no" loudly to others, and they can shout "help" to passers-by at critical moments.
(5) In case of danger, call the police or ask for help from around (applicable to children over 4 years old)
For children after school age, it is suggested that parents can equip their children with a mobile phone. As long as they have the function of making and answering calls, they can tell their children to call the police immediately in case of danger. Of course, children should remember the contact information such as alarm phone, home phone and parents' mobile phone, so that they can ask for help in many ways.
If reasoning is not easy to achieve the goal, you can let the child try the consequences appropriately under the condition that no personal injury will occur. For example, if the child can't help reaching for the soup on the table, let the child touch it with a hot cup and tell her that this is the feeling when touching his hand. After the child has this experience, he can deepen his impression.
Second, pay attention to random education in daily life.
Safety education is an aspect of life skills education, which is very practical and difficult to be carried out in the abstract. Random events with potential safety hazards or consequences in daily life are the best carrier, because children's thinking is concrete and vivid, while the cases caught in random education are often situational and intuitive, which are easier for children to understand and accept, thus making education more effective. Therefore, in the process of daily education, parents may wish to tighten their nerves and naturally introduce safety education when encountering scenes suitable for education. For example, when children are curious about the outside world and accidentally grope around the socket and climb onto the balcony, it is a good time to carry out safety education at random. Just need to pay attention, because random education usually needs to pay attention to language communication. For young children, communication and expression are very important in the education process:
1, try to use affirmative sentences, because children's understanding ability is limited and they often don't change sentence patterns when they are obedient. You tell her what not to do, but she may know what to do. For example, when we say "don't walk too fast" to our children, we often hear the central word "walk too fast" because of their limited information processing ability. For example, it turns out that Tong Tong always walks fast when holding sharp things, but my "Don't walk so fast" reminder usually doesn't work. Once, I changed the sentence to "Baby, when you take scissors, you must walk lightly". Unexpectedly, immediately, the little guy immediately restrained his gait and went to the sofa to sing "Walk Gently"!
2, it is best to cooperate with the body expression. Because for children who are used to action thinking, especially babies, sometimes our words are still very abstract. If they are not serious enough, or have no corresponding actions, they may be confused about the behavior intention of adults and still don't know what to do next time. For example, a child curiously touches the socket of the power supply. If we just say "don't touch that thing", he may not understand what you want him to do. If you take her little hand away, she may understand what we mean.
3. Avoid educational content that awakens children's brave consciousness. On one occasion, Tong Tong climbed The Upper Terrace's ladder and sat with his back out, which was very dangerous. After getting her down, her father said when educating her, "aren't you usually very timid?" Why are you so bold suddenly? ""Aren't you afraid to climb so high? "In that case, I was very scared. I quickly stopped this kind of preaching and told Tong Tong clearly that it was not brave. Otherwise, the child will think that this is a bold move and it is easy to be inspired to continue to be brave.
4. When the consequences are terrible, you can severely blame the child at the first time to make the child realize the seriousness of the matter, but when the matter itself is not very serious, or the child's intention is good, he is already guilty, it is not appropriate to be harsh on the child. For example, when a child accidentally knocks over milk and has realized his mistake, parents should not blame the child, otherwise, it is difficult for the child to listen to his parents' truth under the negative emotional experience. Make an idea with your child calmly and try to avoid being knocked over next time, so that your child can accept it more easily.
Third, with the help of related theme picture books and comics,
Although the effect of random education in life is better, it also has certain limitations. Safety education beyond children's own experience may escape the net, such as outdoor safety problems in lightning weather and escape methods in fire. At this time, related theme picture books and animation teaching materials come in handy, such as Mom, don't worry about me, beautiful growing children series of safety picture books, Tom Lost, Wolf who doesn't understand safety, etc. All of them spread safety knowledge through vivid stories or pictures. Wolves who don't understand safety are also equipped with cartoons of safety education, which are more vivid. This will not only enable children to acquire perceptual safety knowledge in the popular education form, but also set an example for them to imitate. For example, "Mom, don't worry about me" begins with the safety education that mom can't join in the fun when cooking in the kitchen. After drawing a lot of immobile things, the author also drew a cartoon pig sitting in the corner of the outhouse waiting for his mother to serve. Tong Tong likes it very much and has a deep memory. When she goes to the kitchen to bother me again, as long as I say, "What is the pig doing while Mom is cooking?" The little guy got the message, made a face and left.
Give a chestnut: stick figure is more suitable for safety education for children.
In short, for children's growth, safety education is an area that deserves more attention than conventional cultural knowledge and skills education, which is related to children's quality of life. Parents must pay attention to it and make proper use of various channels to impart relevant knowledge before things happen.
