In order to effectively prevent the occurrence of children's drowning accidents, we would like to make the following warm reminders to parents: We hope that parents will always strengthen the education and supervision of children's drowning prevention, improve children's awareness of drowning prevention and self-rescue ability to identify dangers, avoid danger in an emergency, and escape in distress, so as to jointly protect the personal safety of children and protect the safe growth of children.
Drowning prevention safety knowledge
For students
Where are the places prone to drowning?
The main drowning scene for 1-4 year olds is at home, with water storage containers at home such as washbasins, water tanks, bidets, and bathtubs.
5-9 years old, with the increase of children's range of activities, as well as outdoor sports, generally high incidence will appear in canals, ponds, wells, reservoirs, community waters, water platforms and other places prone to drowning.
Children over the age of 10 have a larger range of activities, mainly lakes, ponds, rivers, reservoirs and other natural waters.
The "six prohibitions" to prevent drowning should be kept in mind
Self-help measures to prevent drowning
For Parents
The "eight points" and "four knows" of protection should be kept in mind by parents
Parents or caregivers should never leave their toddlers alone at a bathtub, bidet, or open water source. Parents should be within reach of their children, concentrate on care, and not be negligent.
There are eight key points for parents to keep in mind:
1. Do not swim in the water without permission, and parents should always supervise you.
2. Insist that your child wear high-quality floats.
3. Ask your child to move before entering the water to avoid cramps.
4. Do not feed your child in the water, as you may choke.
5. Teach children not to play with each other in the water to prevent choking and suffocation.
6. Teach your child to learn to swim and learn skills such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
7. Do not swim in unfamiliar waters, without safety facilities, and without rescue personnel.
8. If you are not familiar with the nature of the water and the underwater situation is unclear, do not go into the water to rescue without authorization.
Parents do "four knows"
Know where your child is going?
Do you know what to do?
Know who to go with?
Know when to return?
Frequently asked questions where drowning occurs
What are the possible misconceptions about drowning
To remember
No device is foolproof
Safety is never without adult supervision
When playing in the water with your child, while swimming
Even if it is equipped with a floating device with a swimming ring
Don't let your child out of your sight either
A lot of drowning accidents happen
It's all quiet
Most children who drown do not cry out for help
Because the respiratory system will actively protect the child's body
Breathing is the highest priority in the body
So children who are drowning are usually quiet
When the child does not move, straighten the body and open the mouth
The time left for life may only be 30 seconds
Many parents think
The child can swim and has good water skills
There will be no drowning problems
Actually, choking, cramps, excessive fatigue, etc
are all possible causes of drowning in children
No matter how good the child's water nature is, he is still a child
It is also inseparable from the attention of parents
Advocacy
Dear Parents and Friends,
Drowning is the number one killer of accidental deaths in children. It is hoped that the majority of parents must enhance their safety awareness and guardianship awareness, earnestly assume guardianship responsibilities, strengthen the education and management of their children, especially strengthen the management of children going out to play after school, weekends and holidays, and often carry out safety education such as drowning prevention, teach relevant knowledge and skills to children, continuously strengthen children's safety awareness and self-protection awareness, improve children's ability to avoid disasters and self-rescue, and strictly prevent accidents.
It is necessary to focus on educating children to achieve the "six nos": do not swim in the water without permission; Do not swim with others without permission; Do not swim without a parent or teacher; Do not swim in waters without safety facilities and rescue personnel; Do not swim in unfamiliar waters; Do not go into the water to rescue others when they are drowning. In particular, children should be taught to avoid blind rescue hand in hand when they encounter a drowning companion, to rescue intelligently, and to seek adult help immediately. Children's safety requires dedication, close cooperation and joint management from all parties.
Let us join hands and work together to ensure the safe and healthy growth of children. Wishing your child peace, health, and happiness!
