Parents and friends are requested to arrange their children's holiday life in advance, pay attention to transportation, hygiene, health, food and other safety, and take care of their children to have a safe, healthy and meaningful May Day holiday.

01 Drowning prevention safety

The period from April to November every year is a time of frequent drowning accidents. Accidents caused by drowning cause heavy disasters to the families involved, and the lessons are painful! Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death among primary and secondary school students. In late spring and early summer, the weather gradually becomes hot, and drowning accidents will enter the peak season again. We hope that everyone will enhance their awareness of safety and guardianship, effectively assume their guardianship responsibilities, and strengthen the education and management of children.

02 Prevention of Infectious Diseases

At present, it is the high incidence period of epidemic diseases in spring, coupled with the unpredictable weather. Children should be reminded to add or remove clothes in a timely manner to prevent various infectious diseases such as H1N1, Norovirus, chickenpox, and hand foot mouth disease. Try not to go to densely populated areas during holidays. When going out, be sure to take personal protective measures, wear masks, wash hands frequently, and drink plenty of water.

05 Fire prevention, gas and electricity safety

Parents should avoid charging electric bicycles indoors. Charging should be done outdoors, and the time should not be too long. Charging should not be done overnight. Properly manage various electrical equipment in the home, regularly check for safety hazards such as electrical and gas leaks in household appliances and gas pipelines, and teach children how to use electricity and fire at home, strictly follow usage norms for operation, and prevent safety accidents such as electric shock and gas poisoning. Teach children not to bring fire into the forest, not to play with fire or set off fireworks and firecrackers in the wild.

Educate children to develop good internet habits, accompany them to outdoor activities, participate in sports and other projects, in order to reduce the attraction of the internet. Educate children on healthy internet usage, green internet usage, civilized internet usage, and limited time internet usage to obtain healthy and beneficial information from the internet. Be cautious when making friends online and avoid meeting with online friends; Do not believe rumors, do not spread rumors. Protect personal and family information (especially ID card, bank card number, address, etc.), avoid taking advantage of small gains, and be cautious of online and telecommunications fraud.

07 Safety precautions for adverse weather conditions

Children should be educated and guided not to go out during rainstorm and thunder. Thunderstorm weather should be far away from tall buildings and power supply facilities, rivers, ponds, reservoirs and other dangerous areas, to prevent floods, lightning strikes, mud rock flows or landslides.

08 Psychological Health and Safety

Pay more attention to children's emotions, communicate with them more, understand and tolerate them more, and smile at them more. Teach children to try their best to solve problems on their own and learn to seek advice and help. Teach children to handle grades and setbacks correctly, and remember not to constantly criticize, abuse, scold, and nag them. Avoid simple and rough preaching; Carefully observe the child's behavior and emotional fluctuations, and promptly inform the teacher or provide psychological counseling if any signs of abnormal behavior are detected.

09 Prevention of Bullying and Violence

Parents should strengthen their discipline over their children, demonstrate how to control their emotions, clearly tell them which behaviors are not allowed, and avoid using violence to solve problems. They should also prevent their children from playing online violent games or watching violent movies and TV shows. Encourage and respect children more, and prevent bullying and violent behavior from the source.

1. Civilized festivals. Advocate for children to have civilized speech and elegant behavior. When traveling with family, one should abide by social ethics, take care of the environment, pay attention to hygiene, observe personal civility and etiquette, and shape a good image of a 'little gentleman' and a 'little lady'.

2. Enrich the holiday season. Urge children to arrange their daily routine reasonably and try to maintain a normal pace of life. In addition to completing the homework assigned by the teacher in a planned manner, encourage children to read a few meaningful extracurricular books in their spare time; Guide children to engage in some interest based and exploratory activities.
