School-going children are currently on holiday and most of us (parents) are working during the day. But as parents, the safety of our kids always comes first.
Although it’s not always easy for parents, children should never be left without adult supervision.
Here are 5 suggestions for keeping your children safe at home during the holidays:
1- Never leave children in the care of an adult you don’t trust.
2- Don’t leave children under the supervision of other children.
3- Child proof your home or the place you are staying by making sure all dangerous substances and items are out of reach.
4- Every child needs to be supervised around any body of water, regardless of whether the child can swim or not. Make sure that young children are never alone while swimming.
5- Children who are home alone during school break need to ensure that they keep all doors locked. They need to also be told not to allow anyone to enter the property.
