Instructions for preventing children from falling out of windows

Falls from windows are one of the main causes of child injury and death, especially in cities. Children are very vulnerable to an open window because of their natural curiosity. To avoid an accident involving a child falling out of a window, you must adhere to the following rules: When opening windows in the apartment and ventilating the room, make sure that the child is under supervision. If possible, open windows (windows) from above, not from below. Install blockers (special latches) on the windows so that the child cannot open the window on his own. Do not allow a child to go to the balcony without adult supervision. Never leave a sleeping child alone in the apartment. The baby can wake up and climb onto the sill of an open window. Move all furniture, including beds, away from windows. This will help prevent the baby from accidentally getting on the windowsill. Do not show your child how the window opens. The later he learns to open the window on his own, the safer his stay in the apartment will be. Do not teach your child to put a chair or other device under their feet in order to look out the window or look into the street from the balcony. Subsequently, acting in this way, he may lean out too much and fall out of the window (from the balcony). Mosquito nets pose a great danger: - The child sees some obstacle in front, confidently leans on it, and as a result, it can fall out along with the net, which is not designed for the weight of even the smallest one-year-old baby. If a child of 5-7 years old is afraid to stay alone in the apartment, do not leave him even for a short time. Often, feeling fear, children look out the window or from the balcony, hoping to see their parents, which may cause them to fall from the balcony. Let's keep children healthy together! OCHS Ayagozsky district
