A child's prank with fire.

A child's prank with fire.

 A child's prank with fire often causes fires. As practice shows, such fires often occur due to the lack of children's skills in careful handling of fire, insufficient control over their behavior by adults.

At the age of three to seven years, children often repeat the actions and actions of adults in their games, imitating their work. The desire for independence is especially evident at a time when children are left alone. You can not be sure that the child, left alone at home, will not decide to play with a box of matches or a lighter.

The main task of parents is to prevent a possible tragedy, to be close and even one step ahead. All efforts should be directed to daily preventive work with children, so that, if not to exclude, then at least to minimize the number of fires and other incidents involving children, to avoid injuries and accidents. After all, first of all, adults are responsible for the actions and actions of children.

Remember, a little carelessness can lead to big trouble. Tragic cases clearly show that the main reason for the death of children in a fire lies in their inability to act in a critical situation. During a fire, a subconscious instinct is triggered in children: the child tries to hide, looks for an imaginary shelter-under the bed, under the table. That's where the trouble catches up with him. Therefore, be sure to teach your child how to act in case of fire.
