Summary of GCD in the senior group “Home Safety” outline of a lesson on life safety (senior group) on the topic

The main sources of danger for a child at home. We search and eliminate

At every age, a child discovers something new. Growing up is an amazing and fascinating process, but, unfortunately, it is inextricably linked with dangers. The task of parents is to protect the child from threats, but at the same time not to suppress independence and interest in the world around him. This also applies to the organization of space at home, where, alas, accidents also happen to children.

Safe environment for newborn babies

It is believed that the risk of serious injury increases exponentially from the moment a child begins to walk. This is true, but children's safety in the first months of life also requires attention, and the main source of threats is often located where the baby spends a significant part of the time - in the crib. We are, of course, talking about the sides and canopies that decorate the cradle.

Decorative elements for cribs increase the risk of accidental suffocation of a child - this is a fact. According to a study published in the specialized American journal Pediatrics, in 2011-2014, 250 American babies suffocated in their sleep. In 69% of cases, the cause of death was bedding.

Safe baby cot:

1. No soft sides. They pose a risk of suffocation for babies who do not yet know how to roll over and hold their heads up, so they can easily fall with their mouth or nose closed.
2. Without feather beds, large pillows, blankets and large soft toys. The reason is the same.
3. Canopies and awnings must be removed when the child begins to stand up, that is, at 4-6 months - they carry a risk of suffocation and injury.
4. From the moment the child learns to stand up, rattles should not be hung across the crib.
5. The optimal distance between the bars of the crib is 6-7 cm. This will allow the baby to safely insert an arm or leg between them without the risk of getting stuck, but will not allow the baby to stick his head through.

In fact, the simpler the children's bed in design and content, the better. In the end, we must admit that all these decorations are more needed by parents, and not by their newborn children, who are not able to appreciate the aesthetic merits.

We provide security in the apartment for toddlers

Toddler is a good English word that refers to a child who has just started walking, that is, between the ages of 1 and 3 years. The older he gets, the more he wants to make his own decisions, and prohibitions often infuriate him. Therefore, you need to act proactively and eliminate dangers in advance.

To do this, look at the space of your home from the position of a small person of stature and age without life experience - from below. Lie on the floor, walk on all fours. Everything that he can reach can become dangerous for a child, but by analyzing the main types of household childhood injuries, you can create a very specific list of potential risks.

The main sources of children's injuries at home

⠀

This is a general list. Depending on whether it is a private house or an apartment building, gasified or not, large or small area, etc. sources of danger will vary. Eliminate them based on your circumstances.

Safety etiquette for children who are left at home alone

When a child grows up, learns the rules of household safety and begins to go to school, there comes a time when he is left at home alone - this is the norm. Threats of a different kind lurk here - sudden situations to which you need to be able to react correctly.

How to keep your child safe if he is alone at home:

• be sure to learn and additionally write down on paper the main telephone numbers of emergency services : fire protection, ambulance and police, as well as number 112, an analogue of the American number 911. To make it easier for the child to figure out when to call where, draw a visual clue next to the phone: a fire near the number 01, next to telephone 03 - a red cross, etc.;
• The child must know the telephone numbers of parents and trusted adults in order to contact them in case of danger. They can also be written down and left in a visible place at home;
• Explain to your child that calls from unknown numbers cannot be answered ;
• Teach your child not to answer the intercom, not to open the door to strangers , even if it is a familiar person, for example, a neighbor, and not to say that he is alone at home . You can learn more about the rules of behavior with strangers from this article He is a stranger, he is bad: rules of conduct for children with strangers;
• When leaving, do not leave the windows open ;
• if you live on the first floors, prohibit your child from approaching the windows if someone is knocking on them, and not talking, even if people outside ask to answer;
• sticks, lighters and other sources of open flame should not remain in sight of the child. Even the most adequate of children can succumb to a sudden desire to quietly “experiment.”

At this age, you can turn to modern technologies for child safety, especially when the child is left at home alone. Buy him a children's smart watch and/or install the “Where are my children” application on his smartphone. With this kit, you can listen to what is happening at home while you are away or when the child does not answer the phone, and the child himself will be able to send you a quick SOS signal in case of danger.

What to do if you are lost in a crowded or deserted place

The street model will help you play the game “Describe to your mom where you are on the phone.” This can be important to help parents find their child if he is lost or cannot find his way. The lesson “Child on the City Streets” at a preschool educational institution will be incomplete without an explanation of how to behave in the market and in other crowded places (hold parents’ hands, don’t let them out of sight, don’t run away and don’t hide).

If a child is lost, he needs to stay where he is and not run home. His parents will not leave; they will look for him here. And it’s not a fact that he will find his way to the house himself. Children over 3 years old need to know the address. All children who go on an excursion, walk or to a public place should put a piece of paper with the address and phone numbers of their parents in their pocket.

When going to the park, you need to designate a meeting place just in case; it should be visible from the height of the child. Lost people need to contact people in uniform: police officers, security guards, and store clerks. On the street - to a woman with a child (the most reliable and safest option).

We are preparing a project to study the rules of safe behavior for children

In both big cities and small towns, safety rules are very similar. Although in small towns children know many objects visually, and traffic is not so intense. But sooner or later the child will end up in a big city. Even moving through its streets with his parents, he must not get confused or get lost.

And now - the fun part! A game that will teach your child how to navigate the street! I propose to conduct a lesson on safe behavior of children in a playful way. To do this, you need to prepare and make beautiful house models with your own hands, come up with their arrangement, and organize the space. There are craftsmen who make facades from metal or wood. I can’t do this, so I suggest a simple and practical option: from cardboard boxes.

The ideal decorations for the “Child on the City Streets” activity would be boxes from refrigerators and large household appliances. They can be covered with brick-like paper, windows can be made, and number plates can be hung. It’s good when the boxes are tall: a sign with the house number is hung on them above the child’s eye level. He gets used to the fact that he has to raise his head to look for address signs.
