Consultation for parents “Parents about road safety”Children, due to their age, are not always able to correctly assess the road situation and recognize danger. Do everything necessary to prevent danger from coming to your family. Timely teaching children the ability to navigate traffic situations, cultivate the need to be disciplined on the street, careful and prudent!
Remember, if you break the Rules, your child will do the same!
Teach your children the rules for safely crossing the road!
Discuss together the safest routes to travel, remind your child every day: BEFORE CROSSING THE ROAD, MAKE SURE IT IS SAFE!
Explain to your child that stopping the car right away is impossible! Learn to anticipate hidden dangers!
Discuss the safest routes together!
It is important for the child to remember that even a familiar, familiar road can be dangerous.
Dedicate a separate walk to the rules of crossing the road, check whether your child understands them correctly and knows how to use this knowledge in real traffic situations. To do this, practice crossing a pedestrian crossing together, across a one-way roadway, through controlled and uncontrolled intersections.
Walk with your child along the usual route to and from school. Talk about why it is important to walk the same path. Draw your child’s attention to all the dangers and hidden “traps” that may lie in wait for him along the way, think over the route so that it becomes safer.
Make sure that the child always has some extra time, but if the child is still late somewhere, explain to him that rushing on the road is not acceptable, and it is better to be late, but remain alive and healthy.
If you are driving a car: be sure to use a special restraint system and seat belts, buckle up yourself and make sure that the passengers in the car are buckled up. About 30% of children injured in road accidents are passengers.
During the holidays, it doesn’t matter whether your child stays in the city or leaves. It is necessary to use every opportunity to remind him of the rules of the road. Do not allow children to play near the roadway; there are closed playgrounds, stadiums, and gyms for games.
A stationary car is dangerous: it can block your view and make it difficult to notice the danger in time. You cannot go out onto the road because of parked cars. As a last resort, you need to carefully look out from behind a standing car, make sure that there is no danger, and only then cross the road.
Do not go around a stationary bus, either in front or behind!
From the stop you need to move towards the nearest pedestrian crossing. And after making sure of your safety, cross the road at a pedestrian crossing.
A slow moving car can hide behind a car going at high speed. A child often does not suspect that another car may be hidden behind one car.
It is not enough to teach children how to navigate when a traffic light is green; before you take a step onto the road, you need to make sure that cars are stopping or allowing you to pass.
On a street where cars rarely appear, children run out onto the road without first checking it and get hit by a car. Develop in your child the habit of always stopping before going out onto the road, looking around, listening, and only then crossing the street.
If you had to stop in the middle of the road, you need to be extremely careful, remember that cars are moving behind you. You cannot make a single movement without making sure it is safe.
Being next to an adult, the child relies on him and either does not watch the road at all or does not watch well. An adult does not take this into account. On the street, children are distracted by all sorts of objects and sounds, not noticing a moving car, and thinking that the way is clear, they break away from the hands of an adult and run across the road. Before crossing the road, hold your child's hand tightly.
In large cities, places of increased danger are arches and exit points from courtyards. Do not allow a child to run past a yard exit or arch ahead of an adult.
Teach children to follow traffic rules from an early age. And don’t forget that personal example is the most intelligible form of learning.
REMEMBER! The child learns the laws of the street, following the example of you, parents, and other adults. Let your example teach disciplined behavior on the street not only to your child, but also to other children.
Recommendations for parents
1. When driving on the sidewalk:
- keep to the right side of the sidewalk
- do not lead the child along the edge of the sidewalk: the adult must be on the side of the roadway
2. When preparing to cross the road:
- stop or slow down, look at the roadway
- involve your child in observing the situation on the road
- emphasize your movements: turning your head to look around the street, stopping to look around the road, stopping to let cars pass
- teach your child to recognize approaching vehicles
- do not stand with your child on the edge of the sidewalk, as when passing the vehicle can get caught, knocked down, or run over with its rear wheels
— repeatedly show your child how the vehicle stops at the crossing, how it moves by inertia.
3. When leaving home:
- immediately draw your child’s attention to the movement of vehicles at the entrance and together look to see if a car, motorcycle, moped, or bicycle is approaching you
— if there are vehicles at the entrance or trees growing that block your view, stop your movement and look around to see if there is any danger behind the obstacle.
4. When waiting for public transport:
- stand with children only on landing platforms, and if there are none, on the sidewalk or curb.
5. When crossing the roadway:
- cross the road only at pedestrian crossings or at intersections along the marked zebra line, otherwise the child will get used to crossing wherever he has to
- do not rush and do not run; always cross the road at a measured pace
- do not cross the road diagonally; Emphasize, show and tell your child every time that you are walking strictly across the street, that this is being done for better observation of cars and motor vehicles
- do not rush to cross the road if you see friends, relatives, or acquaintances on the other side. Don’t rush and don’t run towards them; instill in your child that this is dangerous.
- Don't start crossing a street where traffic rarely passes without looking around.
- Explain to your child that cars can unexpectedly leave the alley or the yard of the house
6. When boarding and disembarking from public transport:
- go out in front of the child, as the baby may fall, and an older child may run out of the parked vehicle onto the roadway
- approach the vehicle door only after a complete stop: a child, like an adult, can trip and get run over
- do not board public transport at the last moment when it departs; The front door is especially dangerous, as you can get under the wheels of a vehicle
— teach your child to be careful in the bus stop area, a particularly dangerous place for him: a stopped bus reduces the view of the road in this area.
7. When the car is moving:
- teach children to sit in the car only in the back seat; do not allow sitting next to the driver unless the front seat is equipped with a child seat
- Do not allow a small child to stand in the back seat while driving: in the event of a collision or sudden stop, he may fly over the back of the seat and hit the front window
- Do not allow children to be in the vehicle unattended.
Reminder for parents: Safe steps towards road safety.
What should parents know about their child?
At 3-4 years old, a child can distinguish a moving car from a stationary one, but he is sure that the car stops instantly.
At 6 years old - with peripheral vision he sees approximately 2/3 of what adults see; cannot determine what is moving faster: a bicycle or a sports car; does not know how to correctly distribute attention and separate the essential from the insignificant.
At 7 years old, you can more confidently distinguish the right side of the road from the left.
At 8 years old - can instantly respond to feedback, etc.; has experience of walking on the road; actively masters basic cycling skills; can determine the source of noise; establish a connection between the size of an object, its distance and time (the closer the car, the larger it is).

Consultation for kindergarten parents on traffic rules
Consultation for parents “The road safety of your child depends on you”
The speed of movement and the density of traffic flows on the streets and roads of our country are rapidly increasing, and will continue to progress in the future.
Of particular importance in solving this problem is the early and correct preparation of our youngest pedestrians - children, who are already facing serious difficulties and dangers outside the gates of their homes, and who will have to live with an incomparably greater intensity of automobile traffic. Unfortunately, many parents have the misconception that their child should be taught safe behavior on the streets closer to the time when he goes to kindergarten or school. But it’s dangerous to think like that! After all, children develop a whole set of habits (unbeknownst to him and to us) from early childhood. Including demeanor. Therefore, the safety of a preschooler largely depends on what knowledge his parents instill in his head in early childhood. Children under the age of five do not realize the full danger of the world around them, cannot think ahead, and live only in the present, without thinking about the consequences that one or another of their actions may lead to. At this age, it is very important to ensure the safety of the preschooler and put into his head the knowledge that he should analyze his actions a little and think about the consequences. The best way to save your life and the life of your child on the roads is to follow the traffic rules! The question may arise: why explain to children the peculiarities of traffic, the rules of crossing the street, if children cross the road only holding the hand of an adult? Perhaps we shouldn’t bother them with these rules while they still don’t walk the streets on their own or use public transport? But we must always remember that the formation of conscious behavior is a long process. Today a child walks everywhere hand in hand with his mother, and tomorrow he will become an independent pedestrian and passenger of city transport. Work on teaching children the rules of competent and safe behavior on city streets and in public transport must be systematic. In order for it to bring the necessary results, one lesson or conversation with children is not enough. And one more important requirement: children do not have enough theoretical knowledge, they must apply it in practice. It is important that parents set an example for their children in following traffic rules. Take your time, cross the road at a measured pace. When going out onto the road, stop talking - the child must get used to the fact that when crossing the road you need to concentrate. Do not cross the road when the traffic light is red or yellow. Cross the road only in places marked with a “Pedestrian Crossing” road sign . Get off the bus, trolleybus, tram, taxi first. Otherwise, the child may fall or run onto the road. Invite your child to participate in your observations of the situation on the road: show him those cars that are preparing to turn, driving at high speed, etc. Do not leave with your child from behind a car or bushes without first inspecting the roads - this is a typical mistake, and children should not be allowed to repeat it. Do not allow children to play near roads or on the roadway. It is enough to have a conversation-game with your child on the rules of the road at least once a week for 10-15 minutes so that he looks at the situation with different eyes. Such a child will later be able to navigate independently in difficult situations on city highways. At the height of the summer holidays, many children go on vacation outside the city and find themselves in a completely different, unusual environment for them. And if the child is well versed in the rules of the road, parents can be calm about him. A common mistake made in such cases is the wrong approach to starting a conversation. Talking to children about the dangers of the road in an overly stern tone is ineffective. In this case, the child will not be interested in the conversation and, as a result, will learn only a small part of the information. It is much more effective to talk to your child calmly, choosing a moment when he is not busy with anything and his attention is at your disposal. Before explaining, indicate the importance and seriousness of the conversation, let the baby feel his importance. His attention near the road should be a request, not a demand. He must understand that they are worried about him and that he is in danger. This motivation is much stronger than fears of punishment or reproaches. To prevent your child from getting into trouble, teach him respect for the rules of the road patiently, daily, unobtrusively. The child should only play in the yard under your supervision. He must know: you can’t go out on the road. Do not intimidate the child, but watch with him and take advantage of the situation on the road, yard, street; Explain what happens to transport and pedestrians.
Develop your child’s visual memory and attention, and to do this, create various play situations at home. You are a model of behavior for children, you are an object of love and imitation for a child. This must always be remembered, and even more so when you take a step onto the roadway with your baby.

Parents' meeting in the middle group "Children's safety on the roads"
10
Parent meeting in middle group No. 10 on the topic “Children’s safety on the road.”
Goal: Pedagogical education and involvement of parents in the process of teaching preschoolers the skills of safe behavior on the roads and streets of the city, developing a sense of responsibility for the life and health of their children.
Objectives: - To familiarize parents with the theoretical foundations of road safety. — To create motivation in parents to self-develop a culture of safe behavior for children on the streets and roads. — Create conditions for interaction with society to prevent road traffic injuries among preschool children.
Agenda for the parent meeting: 1. Opening remarks. 2. Message from the group teacher. 3. Recommendations for parents on teaching children traffic rules.
4. Distributing a handout for parents “What can I do?”
Progress of the parent meeting:
1. Opening speech by the teacher:
“Our children were born to live joyfully. To play together, to be strong friends, to give smiles to each other and flowers, so that dreams always come true in their lives.”
Yes, our children are born precisely for this, but whether this always happens, whether life will be overshadowed by tragedy - this largely depends on us, adults. The topic of today's meeting is “Children's safety on the road.” The need for a meeting on traffic rules is dictated by life itself. The terrible statistics of child mortality and health damage as a result of road accidents are simply terrifying. And most often we, the adults, are to blame for tragedies. At this meeting we will talk about what parents can do to keep their child safe on the road. First of all, parents should understand that this task of protecting their child on the road is fundamentally unsolvable. Firstly, any movement by transport (and even on your own feet) is associated with danger, and the probability of the unexpected happening is always different from zero. This was not said at all to scare parents, but on the contrary, to draw their attention to the fact that you should always take care of the children’s safety (and your own). Secondly, the task of protecting the child once and for all cannot be solved, because the child is growing, and the possible dangers that await him on the road are growing. Therefore, children should be promptly taught the ability to navigate a traffic situation, cultivate the need to be disciplined on the street, careful and prudent. And parents should not make the most common mistake - acting on the principle “you can do it with me.” If you show your child by your own example how to run to red, be sure that when left alone, he will try to repeat this trick. Dear parents! Remember, if you break the Rules, your child will do the same! We have the power to develop the skills of safe behavior on the roads, to educate a conscious and competent pedestrian, responsible for the life and health of road users.
Tips and recommendations for parents on teaching children traffic rulesconsultation on the topic
Your child goes to kindergarten
How to use the movement of parents holding hands with a child in kindergarten to teach his safety?
A child must be taught, first of all, in the family and kindergarten. Traveling with your child to kindergarten and back is an ideal way not only to impart knowledge, but, above all, to develop children’s skills for safe behavior on the street. Unfortunately, many people have the misconception that a child should be taught safe behavior on the streets from the age of five or six, as the time approaches when the child goes to first grade. It's dangerous to think like that! After all, a child has a whole range of habits (unnoticeable to him and to us) from early childhood, and some of them, quite suitable for staying in and around the house, are deadly on the roadway. That is why the time spent driving with a child on the street, starting literally from 1.5-2 years old, should be used to train his set of “transport” habits.
Every child has a habit of careless, “irresponsible” observation. This means that the child observes casually, allowing himself, for example, to take a step back without looking, or to rush where his eyes are looking without looking back. And, what is most dangerous, feel free to go out or run out from behind various objects that interfere with your view: from behind bushes, trees, fences, corners of houses, parked cars.
First of all, on the way home, you need to get used to “fixing” a stop before going out onto the roadway. You need to repeat this stop many times with your child, explaining in words its necessity for observation. Constantly demonstrate the transition from a fast walk or even a run to a measured (though not slow) walk when crossing the street. At the same time, explain to the child that when a person runs, he does not look around. Turning your head while running to inspect it is both difficult and downright dangerous; you can fall. And when moving at a walk, having support on both legs, a person can easily turn his head both to the right and to the left.
The most dangerous habit of children is running out or going out without looking because of objects blocking their view! On the street, this is a parked car - any car. But, above all, a truck, bus or trolleybus.
The recommendation used in some books is the proverb: “walk around the tram in front, and the bus behind” is a gross mistake. By repeating these words, we are simply pushing the child under the car. The journey with the child to kindergarten and back should simultaneously be a daily practice of the child’s ability to “see” a parked car as an object that can hide danger. The child must see for himself the standing bus, like a “hiding object,” and the car driving out from behind it. The same observation lessons (from the sidewalk!) should be repeated dozens of times near standing cars, bushes, trees, and groups of pedestrians. The child himself must understand the very serious danger of a parked car and, in general, any objects that interfere with the view of the roadway.
For a little man, the street is a complex, treacherous, deceptive world full of hidden dangers. And the main task is to teach the child to live safely in this world.
The road from home to kindergarten
Dear Parents! On September 1st, your child will go to kindergarten. Some for the first time, others for the second, third, fourth time will follow the usual route “home - kindergarten”. Let's agree: this route should not necessarily be the shortest, not necessarily the fastest, but definitely the safest for your child. Your task is to walk the path from home to kindergarten with your child and look at it from a safety point of view. Only you, fathers and mothers, grandparents, can make it safe.
You left the house. Is your entrance located inside the yard? Or does it face the roadway? Is the yard filled with cars? Draw your child's attention to this fact. This means that increased caution is required from the very threshold. And so, step by step, follow the route, explaining to your son or daughter the complexity of the path. And the younger the child, the more specific the examples and situations that you discuss with him should be.
You have to cross to the opposite side of your narrow street. Cars were lined up in front of the house, their noses pressed to the curb. A hundred meters later there is a zebra crossing, and there is not a single car. You can cross both from the entrance and along the zebra crossing. Ask your child which way is safer?
The kindergarten is far from your home. You have to go through several stops by ground transport. How to behave when boarding, for example, a bus? How to cross the street after leaving it? Talk to your child about this situation.
Does part of the path run through courtyards, between houses? And in this case, do not relax! Carelessness in the yard is also dangerous! Tell your child that there are also a lot of cars in the yards now. Because a car is standing, another one may pull out and pick up speed. Or some car will suddenly drive into the yard from the roadway, from the side of the street. The street is full of surprises - both the largest, wide, with heavy traffic, and the smallest, narrow, where a dozen cars pass a day.
What is important to us adults? So that the child knows the Rules of the Road (this is the arithmetic of his behavior on the road) and is able to apply them creatively. And, based on these rules, he could independently assess the situation on the street and make the right decision. Only then can we say that the child follows the rules of safe behavior on the road. A very important point: when choosing a route from home to your destination with your child, be sure to discuss the directions that you should not take under any circumstances. Analyze it in detail, and never, even if you are late and the “dangerous” path is shorter, violate the decision you made. The child must get used to it: this is a taboo, a prohibition. As soon as you break the ban, your little “monkey” will do the same without you.
No one is surprised that we learn the multiplication table by heart. Every person needs it all his life and every day. In the same way, together with the child, you need to learn and apply every day the schemes of the selected routes “home - any place that the child visits - home”.
Only constant, specific, systematic education of safe behavior on the road will develop a culture of this behavior in a child.
Running across the road is the enemy. Especially in winter!
Children persistently run across the roadway. Why? The most common answer: “It’s faster!” Let's think about it. Still, the baby is afraid of the road, the place where cars pass, and wants to overcome it faster. So to speak, “a mistake with good intentions.” Moreover, we, adults, are often to blame for the appearance of this error, hurrying the child: “Why are you digging? Faster!".
The usual state of children is to move and run. Especially next to adults. The child's stride is shorter - he can barely keep up with mom or dad. This is how a strong habit is developed! How many hundreds of kilometers has your child already run in the house? Near the house? On walks? In principle, although beneficial for a child’s development, this habit is harmful on the road!
Dear parents! When you return home, ask your child the question: “What is the danger of running across the road?” What will they tell you? Often children give the most strange and unexpected, illogical answers like “The driver can run you over.” This is not entirely true. Closer to the truth: “You can trip (in summer), slip (in autumn and winter) and fall.” But this is not the main answer. “You might not notice the car.” This is already the most important thing.
Ask your son or daughter the following question: “Who is running across the road, can he look both ways?” Can not. That's the whole point!
That is why it is so important to develop in children the stable skill “WHEN CROSSING, CONTINUE TO WATCH THE ROAD IN BOTH WAYS, FIRST LEFT LEFT, THEN LEFT RIGHT.”
It’s not like, “First look to your left. When you reach the middle, look to the right,” namely, “Look in both directions”! After all, the street is constantly changing! A stationary car could move, a slow-moving car could speed up. The one that was going straight, suddenly turned. Hidden behind another parked car or around a corner - emerge. Observation must be in both directions! How to do this when running? No way!
Here is the main answer: the one who runs, his eyes are directed forward and practically cannot look around. He's almost blind...
But this is not enough, let's get to the bottom.
What exactly is running? How is it different from walking?
When a person walks, with each step there is a moment when both feet are on the ground at the same time. The benefit of crossing by STEP is stability when moving; YOU CAN CALMLY TURN YOUR HEAD both to the left and to the right as many times as necessary according to the situation and the width of the street. On the street, the most important and most difficult thing is to observe and notice.
The knowledge is there, the understanding is utmost. But the habit “sits”, and firmly. But the man on the street does not think, but acts as usual. And in order to elevate your child’s correct actions when crossing the street to the rank of habit, practice with him - in the yard, in the park, at home - a simple exercise: crossing the road while observing.
Train the movements in stages. First, you show your child how to act: stop at the edge of the sidewalk, look left, then right and left again. Only after this can you begin to move without stopping to observe (with your head turned!). Before the middle of the roadway, we pay more attention to observation to the left, after the middle - to observation to the right. The next step is to bring these actions to automation. The final step is that the child crosses the “road” independently, consolidating the acquired skills.
In winter, running across the road is doubly dangerous! Snowfall, ice, even just wet asphalt, watered or sprinkled with anti-icing agents, increase the braking distance many times over. Stopping a moving car becomes ten times more difficult! From sudden braking, the car may skid or skid (when the wheels lock and it becomes uncontrollable). And then its movement becomes completely unpredictable.
This means only a calm transition, only at a pace, only the utmost attention to the road and the traffic on it! A habit trained to automaticity will help your child safely cross the road alone, with a friend, with skates or skis in hand. She will simply become his safe conduct on the road.
