Children are special type of being that because of their soo much energy sometimes you see them very restless,jumping ,running and doing all manners of energy tasking activity and highly injurious activities. With their curiosity to findout certain thing ,you see them trying things out without considering the consequences.

These kids have nothing much to think of rather than to eat ,play and when they are very tired after soo much intensive play (rough play) ,next thing is to find a place to sleep. Because of all these activities and altitude of children and many more things like games expecially outdoor games,they are very prone to injury which can leave a permanent damage to their body if the degree of the injury is severe and sometimes just a temporal damage. Either of these damages,non do we want for our kids,hence there is a need to consider their safety even while they are playing and doing all those activities that can cause an injury for them.

It's safer when these children are at home with the parents because you can actually correct and even stop them when what they are doing at that moment that we are around and seeing is becoming dangerous for them ,but we also know that we cannot be having our kids around us or at home all the time,they may have to go out with their friends, go to school ,out for games e.t.c in this case ,what can we do to keep them safe even when we are not around them?

1) HANDLING OBJECTS OUT OF SIGHT
At home ,it's easier to keep some potentially dangerous objects such as razor,knifes ,niddle , naked electric cables etc ,away from children but when they go outside ,you won't have control over those objects ,in this case ,what can you do?

Instruct them not to go ahead and handle any object they aren't allowed to touch at home and tell them the reasons why they should not touch it ,if you don't tell them the reasons,the curiosity in them will cause them to touch it.

If you have more than one kids ,tell them to report anyone among themselves that disobey your command with a promise of gift,that will motivate them to promptly report anybody that handle such dangerous objects.Hence ,you have made them to be the watchdog for themselves even when you aren't around.

2) SPORTS OUT OF SIGHT
Sometimes your kids may want to get involved in organised sport,it's very important to teach them some basic strategic safety measures that will prevent them to become injured and certain guidelines they need to know. See below the safety measures to teach your kids as regards sport;

TEACH THEM THESE GENERAL SAFETY MEASURES .

Let them know that before they can begin to actively involve in any sport,they must first learn the rules of the game and know it,and expecially the safety measures already outlined for each sport they want to be doing.

Let them know also that they must never try to go beyond the skill they have acquired and acquitted with over the period of time,don't try new skill while the game is on without prior rehearsal and mastery,it may be dangerous.

Don't go beyond what your strength can carry you ,it may be injurious

Report immediately every injury you sustain while the game is on for timely medical intervention,failure to do so can cause the injury to become worse.

Before starting the game,always check around the field for the game for potentially dangerous objects such as nails,broken bottles etc.

Always be sure you are medically fit before engaging in the game to prevent unexpected medical emergency.

It's very important that they know that warming up before going to the field of play will prevent strains and sprains.

3) WITH STRANGERS

No body knows if or when someone's kids can fall into the hand of strangers or kidnappers,but if these happens ,how prepared are your kids for this unforseen situation can actually determine whether your kid has a chance of escaping.Please take time to do these underlisted safety measures.

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR KIDS

Aways sound a note of warning to them never to follow a stranger or when offers a lift.

In case they were kidnapped, if they can shout and people around can hear them ,they should do so.

Teach them to memorise your phone numbers and home address, they may need someone to assist them ,either call or take them home.

Tell them never try to collect anything from a stranger.

At school your kids should avoid walking alone,encourage them walking in groups expecially if they have to go out of the school premises.

Let your children know your real name beyond daddy and mummy ,somebody may find them or security agencies and they may be asked what is their father's or mother's name in other to trace their parents

Get to know all your child's friends and their parent with their names ,know their homes

If you are the type that send different people to pick your child in school, any time you are sending somebody to pick your child ,give both your child and the person a code through which your child can be sure you are sending the person.

In conclusion, most of the bad incidence, accidents and injuries that occur to our kids outside our supervision can be prevented if we have instructed them properly at home concerning their safety. Though you cannot always be with them but your instructions can never leave them,please make sure you do that and also as much as it's possible, always find away to get an adult to supervise their activities if you can because kids will always be kids if not guided.
