Ensuring the safety and health of children during the Hung Kings' Commemoration Day holiday requires careful preparation from parents.
Accordingly, there are some basic but highly effective ways for children to enjoy a healthy and fun holiday.
Prepare well before the trip
Before each trip, make a detailed plan and prepare all the necessary equipment for your child, which is especially important.
Choose a destination that is suitable for children's age and health, avoid places that are too crowded or do not have many amenities. For children who are too young, they should avoid moving around a lot in a short time to ensure their health.
In addition, parents should fully prepare personal items for children such as weather-appropriate clothes, hats, glasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, as well as other necessary drugs such as fever reducer, diarrhea, personal bananas, etc.
Ensuring safety when traveling
During travel, teaching children how to protect their own safety is a top priority.
When traveling by car, parents should equip chairs for young children, while when traveling by plane, try to give their children a comfortable seat with accessories such as toys and fake nests to avoid making children uncomfortable when changing the pressure.
Preventing diseases
The tourism environment has a potential risk of infection, so maintaining personal hygiene for children should also be focused on. Parents should instruct children to wash their hands regularly with soap or antibacterial solution, especially before and after eating or coming into contact with public surfaces.
Ensure that children eat cooked food, drink boiled water as well as avoid contact in crowded places to reduce the risk of infection.
Equip skills
Children are often active and always love to explore, so parents should always keep their children within reach, especially in crowded areas or near lakes.
Teach children basic skills such as not following strangers, knowing how to communicate with relatives and recognizing the risks around them.
Keep a personal information card for children including the name, contact phone number of the parents and address of the place of residence, to prevent children from getting lost.
