Playground Safety Tips Every Parent Should Keep in Mind
• Play grounds are a place that provides kids with
endless fun, thus giving them an opportunity to make new friends and play with them, participate in exercises, and enjoy fresh air. • It is highly important that playground safety rules
are well-established and are followed. • Every year, many kids end up getting hurt, a lot of
it being a result of playground accidents that could have been easily prevented.
• For instance, on the public play grounds, injuries often occur on the monkey bars or other type of climbing equipment, with kid’s ages five to nine getting injured most frequently. • So, how could parents and caregivers avoid injuries from happening in the first place? • Firstly, they need to be adult supervision at all times.
• When you are considering which playground you would be taking your kid to, choose the one that allows you to see all the play areas. • Take a careful look at the surfaces and equipment alike too. • Choose those with surfaces that are made with safety rubber, or made of thick layer of wooden chips, pea gravel, sand, or mulch.
• All
the
different
types
of
playground
equipment and the surrounding play-areas, suggests the caregiver at the nursery school in Bur Dubai, need to have specific rules that need to be followed:
Swing-Set Safety Tips • Tell your kid to sit on the chosen swing, rather
than kneeling or standing on it, and hold-on tightly with both hands. • Parents should discourage their kids from jumping
off the swings, and ensure to make it a firm rule that no one’s allowed to run or even walk in front of kids who are swinging. • Also, parents need to ensure that the individual
swing isn’t placed too closely together.
Slide Safety Tips • While your child is climbing up a slide, make sure that they hold onto the handrails and take only one step up the ladder at a time. • When it is time to finally slide down, it must be feet first, that too, sitting up.
• You need to make it a firm rule that kids are not to stand at the bottom side of the slide, suggests the teacher at the play school in Dubai, and tell the kid sliding down to check for it as well before sliding down. • Before the kids begin using the slide, ensure that there aren’t any rocks, debris, or glass at the bottom of the slide.
Seesaw Safety Tips • Kids need to always face each other when playing on the seesaw, that too, with just one kid per side of the seesaw. • The caregiver at the day care in Dubai suggests that it should be taken care of that both the kids using the seesaw are of relatively similar weight. • Also, ask your child to hold onto the seesaw bar, in front of the seat, firmly with both hands.
