According to statistics, every day 17 children disappear in Ukraine. In some situations, the children themselves are out of the house, in the other - they are lost in the crowd or in the woods. When this happens, the children and parents do not know what to do. Tell the kids what to do if they get lost.
Volunteers who take part in the search for missing children, developed a manual that will help children and parents. When children and parents know what to do if they lost each other, then such a situation become less scary.
That the child should know?
Children must know your full name, mother's name and father, parents and police phone number - 102. You can certainly use adresnikom - a bracelet engraved with important data sometimes clothing tag can write data, but it's better to have a child, this information "bounce off teeth. "
Lost in the city
Play the child with different situations: he was lost in the city, in the woods, on the bus, in a shop, etc. In all situations, there are two common algorithm of actions for children:
but) not to look for the parents themselves, but to stand still; b) ask for help to adults.
Who can I ask for help:
- a policeman - the child should know how to look uniform police and not to confuse it with the other;
- to a man with a small child, it is desirable for a woman;
- to the store employee who will be in uniform or to a security guard.
It is important to teach a child to call loudly mom. It often happens that my mother nearby, but the baby does not call her because noise in public places can not.
We explain that if the child does not see mom or dad, you need to stop and look around: they may be near; and then you need to call them out loud. teach your child shout loudly and call my mother.
He lost in transport
There are two situations in such a case: you come to a stop, and the child did not have time; you have entered the vehicle, and the child was left at the bus stop.
situation 1 - he stayed in the truck. First, he has to get out at the next stop and wait, you will come to it.
situation 2 - he was at the bus stop, you have left. Then the child standing still and waiting for you to come back to it.
Teach your child the right to ask the help of other adults. If the child will turn to the police in the form, he can be trusted. So he can safely share data.
If he turned to another adult, then you should think of your common password. The first thing that a child must ask you - the password, so he knows what it is exactly you. Password help you in a situation where you want to be deceived telephone scammers who ask to transfer money. Teach your child never to go anywhere with no other adults. They may sincerely want to help him, but you must understand that not all adults want good children? He owes you describe the place where he was and stand still.
He lost in the woods
Correct going into the forest:
first - bright clothes. Brown, green, earth, khaki, nyudovye shades should not be present on the clothes your baby if you take it with you into the woods. Put it in his pocket something light - a sock, a handkerchief. The child will be able to hang this landmark branch.
Second - Teach your child cherish charge the phone. If he has a mobile phone, then it will be easier to find. But he did not have to play it and watch, because that can quickly drain. You can give the child poverbank along.
third - whistle. Put your child a whistle. If you long to shout, the voice sits. And even when he will hear you call him, you can not respond. Another thing - a whistle, which sounds in the woods very well heard and it is not difficult to whistle.
fourth - water. A small bottle of water is to be a child and it is important not to drink directly into the woods. 14 of the 15 children who died in the woods - drowning. Tell him that he has with water and does not need to approach the pond to drink.
fifth - light snack. Cookies, chocolate bar, place the child with him. It can be eaten after a walk in the woods, but a snack will also be able to support the forces of the baby, if it gets lost.
The algorithm is:
Also, as in infant city must stand stillWhere realized that he had lost an adult.
child should shout, whistle a whistle or a stick to knock on wood, listening to see if his name back.
Do not approach the pond no way. Hot, thirsty, it seems that the river settlement - the child should not approach the water, period. Even when drowning his friend (if lost two children), because then they will drown both of them.
Do not sleep, how hard I do not want to. He can not hear the adults who will be his call. Therefore, if it is not found until the night in the forest, he must find a dry place to sleep. Singing songs, telling poems, not to sleep.
Also tell him that he can hear different soundand in the forest. But this beast, creaking trees - no more. Scare forest dwellers he could clapping hands, tapping his stick on the tree.
Do not touch the animals, even the smallest and most harmless. They can transmit rabies, and the child can bite strongly defending their offspring.
Mushrooms and berries can not be there. It may be dangerous! Child find faster than it will come very hungry.
Tell us what often happens when adults are lost in the woods. It is often children do not respond to the name during searches because they fear punishment.
Any adult help. The right to appeal to the man "in the form" does not work in the forest. Any adult will find the parents - it is important to explain it.
Repeat as often as possible with the child in a playful way all activity. They can save his life. After all, no child is safe from the fact that is not lost.
