Safety Rules

 Hello everyone do you follow safety rules?? Yes, that is very good.

As parents, one of your major worries would naturally be the safety of your child. Right?

You’re constantly thinking of ways to keep them as safe as possible.

When they’re out in school or at a friend’s house, you cannot help but wonder if your child is equipped with the understanding and maturity to handle an adverse, dangerous situation, if it arises.

So how do you ensure your child is prepared?

Well, there are various safety rules that a parent should make sure their child has in mind. These rules need to be reiterated constantly to make sure that your child is well aware of them.

Like many other parents, we’re sure that you have a certain amount of confusion and apprehension about what rules are most important and where exactly to start with explaining these rules to your child.

You’re probably also wondering what areas you should emphasize and how to sensitively approach the subject of safety rules for kids.

This is why we have compiled a list that you can use to keep them informed about the different steps they need to take in order to be safe and sound. Let’s take a look!

. Road Safety Rules For Kids

A) Look before crossing

Make sure that you’re telling your child repeatedly to never cross any street or road without holding the hand of an adult or an elder sibling. Tell them to make sure they look left, right, and then left again before crossing.

B) Don’t play or run around on the road

While speaking of traffic rules for kids, it is vital that you tell your child to never play on a street or a road where vehicles would pass by.

C) Walk only on the sidewalk

It’s important to tell your child to walk on the sidewalk or footpath of the road and not on the road itself. If there’s no sidewalk, make sure your child knows to walk facing the traffic and on the complete edge of the road.

D) Basic road signs and traffic signals

With regard to traffic safety rules, teach your child what red, yellow, and green mean in a traffic light. It’s also important to teach your child the signals at a zebra crossing (the walking sign being green or red). Make sure that you also teach them what some common and basic road signs mean.

Careful while getting out

Make sure you emphasize this as it is one of the most important safety rules for kids! Your child should only exit a car or vehicle away from the traffic side, towards the footpath. And, you must teach your child to look through the window both towards the front and behind before opening a car door, so they don’t injure any passerby while doing so.

Thank you
