Important component in education and training of children is formation of responsibility and independence. The first steps and words, schooling to a pot, etc. At last, there comes the moment when the child can quite walk one. In order to avoid stresses and unpleasant situations, parents need to arm with tranquility and patience and also to explain to the child a number of rules of conduct on the street.
It is necessary to pass to independent walks not earlier than when the child was seven years old. According to researches of psychologists, by seven years the formation of behavioural structures comes to the end. To the forefront there is a randomness of actions, that is the child acts according to the external purposes, and not just on direct motivation (povinuyas to a minute impulse).
As motivation for independent walks serve friends. If the family moved recently, and the child did not manage to get friends in the yard yet – you should not force it to meet other children at once.
Main task of parents: to work gradually. Suggest the child to take a walk together, and then after a while under the pretext of urgent household chores leave his one at first for 15 minutes, then return, then for half an hour, etc.
Explore the yard together (quietly tell about danger of open hatches of wells or about why it is necessary to look upward when you are going to pass under balconies - snow, a pot with flowers, etc. can fall, the game form can make it - for example, you are pirates and you need to pass to the house, passing all traps), communicate with other parents, call children from the yard to yourself on a visit, etc. Get acquainted with local grandmothers – in response to your help they can sometimes look after your child.
It is not recommended to intimidate the child by "foreign uncles" and the terrifying stories which happened to other children. Pedophiles can disappear also among people lovely externally and also among acquaintances.
Using trustfulness of children and their sincere desire to help, many pedophiles use reception: "Help me". For example, to find a kitten in the stairwell or to inform of heavy bags. In this case, the child has to be able to tell: "No" or to involve someone from seniors in the help.
Explain to the child of the rule in terms of the positions. For example, instead of a phrase "Do not leave far from the yard, you will be lost!" tell: "It is still difficult for me to get used that you mature. Do not leave far the yard, please, I am afraid to lose you". Thus, you put the child for a role of the "adult" caring for someone.
When the child is guided by areas, do not hesitate to ask about the help. For example, to take out garbage or to go to the nearest shop. Surely praise the child for independence.
It is not necessary to give to the child on walk expensive things (the tablet, phone and so forth). Buy simple phone, make function of a call by means of one button (when a certain button is responsible for a set of any given number). It will be simpler to child to press the button, than to look for the necessary phone number in the magazine of contacts or to take him manually.
Accustom the child to report to you about any movements: for example, wanted on a visit to the girlfriend/friend - it is necessary to call and ask for leave, etc.
Walking without parents, the child has to acquire traffic regulations and accurately the nobility where and whom he can ask for the help if you are absent nearby. In America some parents use special bracelets with the indication of information about Full name child, a blood type, an allergy to any drugs, etc. that in case of any situation the medical care was provided in time. Instead of a bracelet it is possible to use a counter on a chain or just to put a card business card in an inside pocket of a jacket, for example.
