Here are some tips to prevent children from getting scalded

Children are always associated with naughtiness and playfulness. They are curious about everything, so they are easily injured, and burns are one of them. Burns can cause serious harm to children, not only physically but also mentally. Burns can damage the skin, making it easier for viruses to invade the human body, causing children's physical condition to deteriorate and their faces to be damaged, affecting their self-confidence and making them afraid to see people. Children's burns should be prevented in advance.

Safety rules for preventing burns in children:

Safety rule 1: Do not allow young children to play with matches, light open flames, light gas stoves, light oil stoves, or burn wood fires.

Older children should also be taught the correct way to use them and be aware of their dangers. Fences should be installed around coal stoves, electric stoves, etc. Try not to let children set off firecrackers, fireworks and other flammable items.

Safety rule 2: Thermos bottles, kettles, hot porridge, and hot soup pots should be placed in a safe place where children cannot easily bump into them.

It is safer to use a pressurized hot water bottle, but older children should also be taught the correct way to pour water, and young children should be told not to pour boiling water by themselves. When washing face or taking a bath, you should first use cold water and then add hot water to avoid scalding children's hands and feet. When using a hot water bottle or thermos, make sure the lid is tightly closed to prevent leakage. Cover it with a cloth cover or towel and place it far behind the feet, not close to the child's limbs.

Safety rule 3: Power sockets and switches in the house should be placed high up, or it is safer to use pull-cord switches

Household electrical appliances should be placed out of the reach of young children as much as possible, and should not be allowed to touch or fiddle with by children. Older children should be taught the correct way to use them, and should never touch electrical appliances such as lights, radios, and televisions with wet hands or wet cloths to avoid electric shock and burns. When thunder strikes, people should stay 2 meters away from electrical appliances.

Safety Rule 4: All chemical drugs such as acids, alkalis and topical medicines should be placed in locked boxes and kept out of reach of children.
