“Children are like buds on a branch, knowing how to eat, sleep, and learn is being good.” However, if a child unfortunately has an accident at school, such as falling, what parent wouldn’t be heartbroken? This article will help parents understand the issue of children falling at Tu Truong preschool and how to respond when this situation occurs.
From the very first days of sending my child to Tan Phu preschool, I was always worried about my child’s safety. Would my child be well taken care of, would they fall, would they be bullied by friends? Thousands of questions kept swirling in my head.
Why Are Children Prone to Falls at Preschool?
Preschoolers are naturally active and love to explore the world around them. They are not fully aware of potential dangers, so falling is unavoidable. At preschool, play and learning spaces often have many objects, stairs, playgrounds… which are factors that increase the risk of falls for children. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a preschool education expert with 20 years of experience, shared in her book “Raising Children Safely”: “Falling in young children is part of the developmental process. The important thing is that we need to create the safest environment possible and equip children with the necessary skills to prevent accidents.”
When a Child Falls at Tu Truong Preschool, What Should Parents Do?
When receiving news that their child has fallen at school, parents are undoubtedly worried and anxious. However, “anger makes you lose your mind,” the first thing parents need to do is calmly find out the details of the incident. Talk to the teacher, examine your child’s injuries to assess the severity. If it’s just a small scratch, parents can rest assured and work with the teacher to care for the child. But if the injury is serious, take your child to a medical facility immediately.
Treating Injuries for Your Child
For minor scratches, parents can clean them with physiological saline and disinfect. For more serious wounds, it is necessary to take the child to a doctor for timely treatment. According to Ms. Pham Thi Hoa, principal of Baby Shark preschool, proper first aid from the beginning will help minimize the risk of infection and help the wound heal quickly.
Preventing Falls for Children at Preschool
“Better safe than sorry,” prevention is better than cure. Preventing falls for children at preschool is extremely important. The school needs to ensure a safe environment for children, regularly inspect and maintain equipment and toys. Teachers need to guide children on how to play safely, remind children not to run and jump or climb in dangerous places. Preschool e-lesson plans on the topic of animals can also help children learn and play more safely. Parents should also teach their children self-protection skills, such as how to walk and run safely.
Spirituality and Children Falling
Vietnamese people often have the concept of “if you worship, it’s sacred; if you are cautious, it’s safe.” When a child falls, some families will perform a spiritual ceremony to pray for peace for their child. However, this is just a folk belief, the most important thing is still to take care of the child’s physical and mental health.
