Safety of children on the road

The "Safe Environment" project was created on the initiative ofRegional resource center for the prevention of violence and is supported by Gazprom invest. The program includes two parts - the safety of children on the roads and security on the Internet. This is the most large-scale training of children at the moment for the rules of road traffic and safe behavior in the urban environment in the south of Russia. The project involved more than 5000 children from 7 to 10 years. In the interactive interactive form, the guys teach the basics of traffic rules and tell about common mistakes in behavior on the road. "Almost from the threshold of the house the child becomes a participant in the traffic. To organize the process of teaching children safety skills on the streets, we have developed this system of classes, "says Alexey Panchenko, a teacher and expert of the" Safe Environment "program. - However, I would like to emphasize that the problems of child safety begin with education. Parents should devote more time to the child, explain important topics to him. It must be borne in mind that a child at home, a child on the street and a child at school are three completely different people. Because of this, working with children is very difficult. It is necessary to increase the responsibility of parents for education. The child needs to be influenced, informed to him, which is correct - to be yourself in any situation. And, importantly, pay more attention to his life. Many parents now simply "rent" their children to schools with a light sigh, and in the evening do not even look in the diaries of their children. The situation needs to be corrected. There will be no indifference - there will be security. In addition, I believe that traffic police officers should work with children, who, unfortunately, do not show special initiative.

But this does not mean that we can say that the child is guilty of the accident. The guilt lies entirely with the parents. They did not create a safe environment, they did not teach. The rules of the road must be submitted to the child in an accessible form. This should not be an edification or, even worse, a bullying that will undoubtedly provoke a child's protest. Ideal - the game form. It is necessary to make the traffic rules interesting for children. "

Safety of children on the Internet

The second part of the program "Safe Environment"is responsible for information security of children. The goal of the seminars, trainings and open lessons is to explain to the children how to behave properly on the Internet. "Today the world has divided into two parts: online and offline, the Internet and our daily life," says Elena Zolotilova. - The advent of the Internet has greatly facilitated our lives. With it, you can search for people, share files, make purchases, learn. However, such a large number of resources entail a danger. Every day our children are at risk. Firstly, on the Internet the child can easily find texts, pictures, video files that propagate violence and aggression. Secondly, in the network, he can be harassed and persecuted: the so-called "recruiters" find their victims, get to know them, appearing as fictitious names and not naming their real age. These people can involve the child in an environment of violence, including sexual abuse. It's far from a secret that pornography, drug trafficking and other criminally-punishable things are widely spread on the Internet. Children from disadvantaged families and orphanages are most often at risk here. However, in a number of cases, children from well-to-do, full-fledged families are involved in the crime, but are left to themselves because of the constant employment of parents. In addition, the danger to the child may be presented cyber dependency. It is divided into several types: cybersex addiction, addiction to virtual communication and acquaintance, gambling addiction, financial, that is, the need for shopping and information overload, that is, a constant presence in the network without significant reasons.

How to prevent such situations?

"In order to provide informationsafety of children, of course, first you need to work with their parents. There are special rules for finding children on the Internet, which in an accessible form must be conveyed to the child. So, children should not download and install programs without the permission of their parents. Do not talk and especially meet with strangers. Do not open letters that came from an unfamiliar address. It is advisable to come up with secure logins and passwords that the child should keep a secret even from the best friends. It is necessary to explain to children that when visiting different sites and communicating with other users they should behave politely. If a child wants to buy something on the Internet, then he must certainly ask permission from his parents. And of course, if someone offended the child in the network, then he should immediately tell this to his father and mother. "More information about this issue can be found
