Lin Yueqin, CEO of Jingjuan Children's Safety Foundation, said that most children's accidents at home are usually caused by adults failing to fulfill their responsibilities or neglecting family safety precautions. It is suggested that parents should always review and improve the safe corner in their homes to create a safe and secure living space for their children.
"4 Want 1 Don't" to protect the family safety of infants. Parents are always embarrassed whenever the news reports that their children have an accident. The CEO of Lin Yueqin reminded that every news of children's accidents is a warning, and parents should take the opportunity to check whether their homes have achieved complete security protection; In addition, 80% of home safety comes from environmental protection, and the remaining 20% can strengthen children's concept of staying away from danger through safety education. Parents can use news events as teaching materials, educate their children in time, and use examples to make them understand that dangerous actions such as climbing, playing with fire and touching hot things may lead to serious consequences!
65438+ All sharp objects, ignitions, scalding instruments, fragile articles, medicines (health food), detergents, ropes and small objects with a diameter of 3. 17cm may cause harm to the baby. CEO of Lin Yueqin reminds parents to store dangerous and suspicious items at a height of 120 cm, so that their babies can't touch them easily.
2 large furniture should be fixed. Babies like to explore and play hide-and-seek around the house. If the large furniture that is not stable enough is placed in the range of activities, once it collapses and slides, it may lead to children being crushed, smashed and pinched. The CEO of Lin Yueqin reminded parents to make sure that the heavy cabinets in their homes are placed close to the wall. Try to push the cabinet to make sure it is stable and will not shake; The dimensions of both sides and front and back of the TV cabinet should be greater than the TV depth 15 cm. Assuming that the depth of the TV is 10cm, the TV cabinet should have at least 25cm space at the front, back and side of the TV after deducting the space for placing the TV. Installing a door stop can prevent the baby from being accidentally caught when closing the door, and can also prevent the baby from being locked in the room; Safety locks must be installed in lockers and utility rooms where sundries are piled up to restrict babies from opening or entering; If you use a folding table or bed at home, you should avoid letting your baby get close to it and restore it to its original state as soon as possible when not in use; Clothes dryers and washing machines that do not open from the top need to be equipped with anti-opening devices to avoid suffocation caused by baby drilling.
To build a safe home for infants, it is necessary to clarify the responsibility of care. If there is more than one adult in the family to look after the baby at the same time, it will often be mistaken for someone else to look after the baby, which will lead to the baby being ignored and accidents. The Chief Executive of Lin Yueqin suggested that the main caregivers should always confirm whether the children are in the sight of other caregivers, or the caregivers agree to take care of them, for example, when the mother cooks, the grandmother helps to take care of them; When dad takes a shower, please ask mom to accompany the baby.
4. Take protective measures, and do a good job in common falling accidents of children, such as falling from a building and falling from a height. The Chief Executive of Lin Yueqin stressed that parents must strictly guard against the chance of babies climbing and never pile things on balconies and windows. Balcony fence should be greater than 1 10 cm, and the window seam should be less than 10 cm. It is best to install railings, cross bars, acrylic plates and invisible cross bars.
Toddlers stumble when they walk. If furniture and walls have hard edges or convex corners, they should be properly covered with soft materials or padded on the floor. The main walking routes should always be smooth and dry. Toys and wires should not be left about. If there is any water stain, dry it immediately to prevent the child from falling down and having an accident.
In addition, CEO Lin Yueqin suggested that it is best to install carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors at home to know the danger as soon as possible and strive for more escape time; If you have an iron rolling door or an electric door at home, you must set up a detector to stop closing as soon as you detect an object to prevent the baby from being accidentally caught.
1 Children must not be left alone. The Law on the Welfare of Children and Adolescents clearly stipulates: "Children under the age of 6 or children and adolescents in need of special care shall not be left alone at home or taken care of by inappropriate people, and offenders may be fined NT$ 3,000 ~15,000. The CEO of Lin Yueqin mentioned that when a baby is left behind by an adult, even for a short time, an accident may happen.
There was once a mother who left her baby alone in the bathtub, but as soon as she went back to her room to get a bath towel, the baby drowned. An old woman went downstairs to buy breakfast before her granddaughter woke up. As a result, my granddaughter woke up and didn't see her grandmother, so she climbed onto the balcony and died. There are even too many cases where parents take a nap and children play with fire in the kitchen, which leads to fires. The CEO of Lin Yueqin reminds parents that, for safety reasons, if there are preschool children at home, they should not only stay at home alone, but also keep them in sight at any time.
