Childhood without slide is almost incomplete. The slide is the children's favorite common play facilities. From babies to children and even adults, everyone likes the speed and feeling at the moment of sliding down the slide.
But have we noticed that the slide may bring danger as well as happiness to children?
1、 Common slide accidents
1. Riding slide with adults leads to fracture
Some parents worry that it is not safe for the baby to slide down the slide. Some babies dare not slide and ask to slide with their parents. Therefore, parents hold the baby and slide down the slide. In fact, this is not to protect the baby, but may cause serious injury. Adults are heavier, and they can get down the slide much faster than children themselves. At this time, if the baby's hands and feet unconsciously stretch out and get stuck next to the slide, it will cause a fracture.
2. Fracture of wrist and elbow caused by falling on the slide
Children may fall down from the slide due to improper sitting posture, pushing, self carelessness and other reasons. At this time, wrist fractures and elbow fractures are likely to occur.
3. Head down and hit your head
In pursuit of novelty and excitement, many children slide head down, increasing the risk of injury. If the children in the rear do not pay attention and continue to slide down, but the child who is head sliding has not left the slide, his head may hit the floor or slide and be injured.
2、 How to prevent slide accidents?
1. Choose a slide suitable for your baby's age
Babies around 1 year old can choose slides whose height does not exceed the height of their parents. Mom and Dad need to stand by and grab the baby's armpit to protect the baby from sliding down slowly. Mom and Dad don't hold the baby on their legs and slide it down.
Children around 2 years old can slide the slide independently, but parents still need to pay close attention to their children's condition.
Children over 3 years old can try some complicated slides, such as the rotary slide or the slide that needs to be climbed when going up. Some parks have set up very high slides, some as high as 3 meters. Generally, children around 6 years old can slide. Parents can check whether the amusement facilities have age or height restrictions, and if so, they should strictly observe them to avoid danger. When children of the same age play together, their weight and strength are similar, and the damage caused will be relatively small.
2. Follow the slide rules
You need to line up to play on the slide, one by one. When you slide to the bottom, you should leave as soon as possible. Before the children on the top slide down, you should also observe whether there is no one below. Tell the child not to push, use his body to push others, and learn to wait patiently. Sit with your feet together and slide down. Do not slide down with your head facing down. Do not squat, stand or lie on the slide.
3. Check the slide environment
Check whether the slide is damaged or bulged. If the weather is too hot, see if the surface temperature of the slide is too hot. If there is sand on the slide, it should be cleaned up.
4. Pay attention to children's clothes.
When sliding the slide, children should not wear clothes that may be entangled, such as ropes, long lines, scarves, etc. The shoelaces should be tied and clothes with hard objects or sharp objects should not be worn. Don't wear too much in winter, which will cause inconvenience to your movement.
3、 In case of any of the following situations, it is necessary to properly handle and seek medical advice
1. If the child is found to have a fracture, call 120 for emergency treatment immediately. Don't rush to pick up the child. After carefully observing the child's injury, try not to change the child's posture, fix the injured part of the child to avoid secondary injury.
2. If the baby bleeds, stop bleeding, sterilize and bandage it. You can go to the nearest hospital or community health service center to seek the help of a professional doctor.
4、 Benefits of sliding
Some parents don't want their children to play the slide when they see the possible accidents caused by the slide. But in fact, playing the slide has many advantages for children.
1. Exercise coordination ability
You need to climb the stairs to go up the slide. In this process, you will exercise your child's body balance and sports ability. When sliding down the slide, children can feel the speed of decline and the feeling of body, which is also a perception and experience of movement.
2. Cultivate the awareness of establishing rules
The slide can only pass one person at a time, so children should follow the rules in this process. Some children may be blamed by other children if they do not obey the rules; Some children will help maintain order loudly. In the process of playing the slide, children may establish their awareness of rules.
3. Promote children to socialize
In contrast, sliding is an activity to promote children's social interaction. First of all, the children can fully enjoy the fun of the slide and be in a happy atmosphere at the same time. At the same time, in addition to waiting, the requirements for cooperation are not very high. For young children who are not good at cooperation, they may enjoy such social interaction more.
The Golden Childhood Factory reminds parents not to give up eating because of choking. As long as they pay attention to observation and train their children to abide by the correct rules of play, they can have a safe and happy childhood.
