Forced vacations During distance learning

Forced vacations During distance learning, in order to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection, children spend most of their time alone at home. Therefore, prevention of compliance with the rules for handling electrical appliances and other sources of fire is of particular relevance. Prevention of the risks of fires due to careless handling of a child by fire is a sacred duty of adults. Children should not be left to their own devices; constant parental control is needed. About 40% of fires are due to childish pranks.

Particular attention of parents should be paid to the organization of a safe home educational place for the child. Adults should conduct interviews with children on compliance with fire safety rules, including when using household appliances and computer equipment, as well as protect minors from pranks with fire, removing matches and lighters to an inaccessible place. Children are very curious, and a burning light attracts their attention. Starting to understand that matches are a source of fire, children show great interest in them. You can often see how parents instruct young children to light matches or give them to extinguish. So, parents do not notice that this develops interest in pranks with fire.

Citizens need to pay attention to the timely check of serviceability of furnace heating, electrical wiring, sockets, shields, plugs of electrical appliances, the correct use of electric heaters at a safe distance from flammable things. In addition, with the advent of warm spring weather and the disappearance of snow cover, an increase in the number of fires of dry grassy vegetation and garbage in open areas increases. Often this is facilitated by children's prank with fire, bonfires left unattended.

Not only children of preschool age, but also older children are very interested in pranks with fire, but this prank is no longer random, but is the result of their conscious actions. Most cases of ignition of dry grass and hay occur precisely due to pranks of adolescents.

Dear parents, be careful and attentive to your children, even when away from home !!! You are responsible for the behavior and actions of your children. Instill your children’s consciousness and skills in the careful handling of fire from an early age, constantly remembering that matches are not a toy, and fire is not fun. PSP of Ridder
