"Today's children are flowers in the greenhouse, so they can't eat bitter food. Parents have to carry schoolbags and pick them up when they go to school. It's too expensive. How can they get them in the future?"
The other day, when I went to pick up Duoduo from school, I heard two old people talking about parents taking their children to and from school at the school gate. "This child must not be used to it, and he can't spoil it. Let him have a hard time since he was a child, otherwise it will be a problem to live in Dalian!" An old man looked at the parents who picked up the children and added. Another old man nodded in agreement, and the more they talked, the more energetic they became, as if they wanted all parents to hear them.
In fact, there are endless voices about parents not taking their children to and from school.
Han Han's mother once told me that she encountered a similar scene. Before, when she was waiting in line at the kindergarten gate to pick up Han Han from school, she heard her elders complain when they picked up their children: "You are five years old this year, and you need your grandmother to pick you up every day. At the beginning, your father walked several miles to school by himself, but grandma never took it, unlike you now."
whether parents should send their children to and from school has always been controversial, and many experts have discussed it, but there is no result in the end. However, parents have said that it is very necessary to pick up and drop off their children from school.
why should parents spend time and energy to send their children to and from school? The main reason is for the safety of children.
The famous Korean movie Su Yuan, I think most people have seen or heard it. Many people have seen it once and can't watch it again. What's more worrying is that this movie is adapted from a real case.
At ordinary times, we also see news of many students being killed. As a mother, every time this violent crime against children occurs, words can't describe the degree of anger.
Some demons are bright outside and extremely dark inside. For the safety of children, all we can do is to protect them together.
besides this, the traffic safety on the school road is also dangerous. Before, a parent personally experienced a traffic accident in which a primary school student was run over by a big truck at the school gate. The ground was a mess. After the child's mother arrived at the scene, she cried and cried bitterly, and then she fainted because of grief.
It is precisely because of a child's safety accident that parents gradually squeeze time to send their children to and from school every day. As parents, we are most afraid that our children will be hurt a little. We must not take safety lightly at all. I think every parent can feel the same way about this strong psychology of protecting children.
Children are far weaker than adults in safety awareness and emergency response. In case of emergency, they are vulnerable to injuries and accidents. Protecting children's safety is the mission of parents. We would rather be misunderstood by those people and spoil children, but also protect children's life.
Of course, parents don't have to pick up and drop off every child from school. It needs to be decided according to each child's own situation.
If the children are young and have a long journey to school, parents will definitely take them to and from school. If the school is very close to home, such as the school opposite the community, there are enough security personnel around, there are security guards and parents at the school gate, and there are no other security risks, parents can let their children go to school alone without picking up and dropping off.
letting children go to school by themselves is an important beginning to cultivate their independence, but this independence must be established within a safe range. If parents want their children to go to school alone, besides the above-mentioned safety of the surrounding environment, they also need to do these things well:
First, raise their awareness of self-protection. If you are going to let your children go to school alone, parents must take their children to and from school for many times. It is very important to watch the children's performance on the road and tell them what safety hazards need to be paid attention to on the way after school.
For example, every time I go to pick up Duoduo from school, I will emphasize to her that when crossing the road, you must first look at the traffic lights, then observe the vehicles left and right, and then take the zebra crossing after making sure it is safe.
In addition, a person should not have too much contact with strangers when walking on the road, and ask for help in time if he finds that it doesn't correspond. I have also done many related scene drills with Duoduo. Only by integrating these safety common sense into the child's habits bit by bit can he gradually improve his awareness of safety protection.
secondly, mother should protect in the dark. When the child has just gone to school alone, we should let the child proceed step by step. As a mother, we might as well secretly hide behind the child and observe his performance on the way to and from school. One is to see if the child can really go to school alone, and the other is that if the child goes the wrong way or something happens, the mother can help him at the first time.
Han Han's mother told me about going to and from school alone. She said that Han Han's primary school is behind her community. In order to cultivate her children's independence, she let him go to and from school alone this semester.
At first, she followed Han Han to see if he could go to school alone. After several times of "tracking", she found that Han Han had the ability to go to school alone, and then she completely let him go to school with her friends every day.
Even so, she will still cling to the window every day and watch Han Han walk on the way to school from a distance.
Furthermore, equip children with communication and positioning tools.
When children have the ability to go to and from school independently, we can equip them with communication and positioning tools to keep abreast of the situation on their way to and from school.
Many treasure moms equip their children with communication and positioning tools such as telephones and watches when they are in kindergarten, so that parents can talk to their children in time. On the other hand, parents can know where their children are in time according to their positioning. When the child goes to school alone, the mother should also contact the class teacher in time every day to find out whether the child is at school.
Children's safety is no small matter. Whether it is safety knowledge or positioning tools, we should make full preparations for children.
It is said that children's safety means parents' sunny seasons. For the sake of children's own safety, it is also reasonable to send children to and from school.
The child grows up inadvertently, and it takes only a few years for parents to pick him up and drop him off from school. Holding the child's hand on the road, you can see from him the shadow of going to school that year.
With regard to the transportation of children to and from school, under the premise of safety, every treasure mother can make a decision according to the specific situation of her children.
Give children a wonderful childhood and a safe childhood.
