According to children’s traumatologists, the summer period is especially dangerous for children due to high injuries. Oddly enough, it is in the summer days that the crumbs are injured much more often than in winter. This is partly explained by the fact that children spend most of their free time on the street, sometimes even without control from adults. Quite often, city children who, being on vacation among grandparents in the village, simply do not know the elementary safety rules in nature in the summer. Naturally, all these data should make adults think about their heirs and do everything to avoid child injuries in the summer. How can it be done?
Resting in nature or in the country, do not lower your eyes off the baby, no matter how you are busy – the child can go deep into the forest, climb into the thorny bushes, pick up an ax, become interested in a local well or taste an unfamiliar berry. In addition, do not forget that in nature there is a high probability that a tick can sit on a baby. Therefore, when gathering for berries or mushrooms, put on the child so that his body is almost completely closed by clothes. The child’s trousers should be long, and it will be safer if they are cleaned in shoes. Do not allow your child to put on a T -shirt – for walking through the woods a dense fabric with a long sleeve is more suitable. Be sure to protect the baby’s head and head – put on a headdress on him or tie a scarf on his head.
If you do not think of your vacation in nature without barbecue, then make sure that the child does not come close to the fire or does not step on its coals – explain to the child that the coals remain hot for a long time. In order to avoid a burn, it is better to immediately pour them with water and sprinkle with earth after preparing a barbecue.
In the case when the child could not be avoided, immediately provide first aid to him – stop the effect of high temperature on the baby’s skin and attach a cold compress to the burned place. Do not repeat other people’s mistakes and in no case do not smell the injured part of the child’s body with oil! If the burn is strong, the burn area is large, and the condition of the child worsens – do not waste precious time and urgently call an ambulance.
Which baby has summer without abrasions and scratches? It is clear that children are curious and know the world, running and climbing the fences, but, nevertheless, you should not do it – try to tell the children all the dangers of such actions. If your baby grows a naughty child, do not let him out of the field of your vision for a minute.
If your child even likes to spend at home even summer days, then here he can be in danger. She is fraught with an ordinary air conditioner, being under which a child can catch a cold. No less danger can be pose for a small child and windows. Even if your apartment is very stuffy, do not open them wide and do not put furniture items next to them, which the child can climb.
The danger of injuries can expect a baby in the yard. Do not allow your child to ride a hill made of metal on a hot day – under the influence of sunlight it can be red -hot to such an extent that it will cause a burn in the baby.
All parents know that children are so curious that even small knots or woods can pick up and get a splinter. To remove it, take the tweezers and, grabbing it of its visible end, pull the splinter from the baby’s body.
And, of course, going with the baby for a walk in the forest, to the picnic, to the cottage or to the village, in no case leave the first -aid kit at home – medicines and dressings should always be at your hand.
