When parents talk about school safety these days, they’re usually referring to the increase in violence(暴力)at schools. But research shows that school-age children are actually nine times more likely to suffer an injury while doing sports than to be the victim of violence while at school. Accidents can be prevented if parents are on the lookout for potential(潜在的)dangers. To help you keep your kids free from harm, here are some safety tips:

a. Teach your child never to talk to strangers or accept rides or gifts from strangers. Remember, a stranger is anyone you or your child doesn’t know well or trust.

b. Be sure that your child walks to and from school with a sibling, friend or neighbor.

c. Teach your kid, whether walking, biking or riding a bus to school , to obey all traffic signals, signs and traffic officers. Remind him to be extra careful in bad weather.

d. When driving your kid, deliver and pick them up as close to the school as possible. Don’t leave until they are in the schoolyard or building.

e. If your child rides a bike to school, make sure he wears a standard helmet(头盔). Research shows that a helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85%.

f. Teach your kid to arrive at the bus stop earlier, stay off the street, and wait for the bus to come to a complete stop.
