At risk of losing a child in a public place, of course, preschoolers. And if the child is not mentally prepared for such a situation, then he will most likely panic, hysteria and cry. The task of parents to teach him several important rules:
- Choose bright clothes!
Going to the store for shopping or for a walk in the park, dress your baby in brightly colored clothes. The brighter the shades, the easier it is to see the baby in the crowd. Take a photo in advance on the phone. If the child gets lost, you can clearly describe the external data to passers-by.
- The child stands still, the parent is looking
During the preparation, explain to the child an important rule: If the baby is suddenly lost, then he stands still, and the parent is looking. You can seek help, but only to a person in uniform, for example: a cashier or a woman with a child.
- Give the child a whistle
Give the kid a whistle and teach him how to give a signal in a dangerous situation. If the child got lost in the crowd, then you need to whistle from time to time, and then the parent will certainly find him.
- Lose the situation at home
At home, be sure to lose the situation several times, with dolls, bears, heroes of designers. For example, mom lost in the kitchen, and the child should advise how to act. Mom can deliberately break the rules, for example, go out of the kitchen into the corridor, and the child must certainly notice this.
- Note in your pocket
Write a note with the name and surname of the child, the phone number of the parents and put in the pocket of the baby's jacket. If the child is lost in a public place, he will be able to contact the adult with this note.
If you happen to be the same adult to whom the child turned for help, then calm down, find out the details, calm the child, tell the cashier or security guard, but never lead the children of strangers yourself.
