TÜV Rheinland: Pay attention to good fit, visibility and test marks when buying school bags ⬇️ With around 830,000 children about to start school, many parents have a big purchase to make during the summer vacations: 💡The right school bag. In addition to color and design, parents should pay particular attention to the ergonomics and safety of the product. #tuvrheinland #safety #schoolkids #health
I agree!
As the new school year begins, keeping our kids safe on their journey to and from school is more important than ever! Here are some top safety practices every child should know: 🔹 Stick to Safe Routes: Encourage children to always use sidewalks, crosswalks, and designated bike lanes. Avoid shortcuts that may be less safe. 🔹 Be Visible: Bright or reflective clothing can make a huge difference! Ensure they wear something that stands out, especially during early mornings or late afternoons. 🔹Cross Safely: Teach kids to always stop, look left, right, and left again before stepping onto the road. Never assume a driver has seen them! 🔹 Helmet Up: For those on bikes, a properly fitted helmet is a must for head protection. Safety first! 🔹 Safety in Numbers: Walking or biking with friends or in a group can provide added security and make the journey more enjoyable. Let’s all play a role in protecting our children and making sure they arrive at school safely every day! Got more tips?

#AnecdoteOfTheWeek All of us parents keep complaining about always have to keep “running behind” our children. One would think- yes that’s because children tend to keep running and cannot sit in one place like adults can, because they’d be bored and cranky. Common sense, right? While on a similar run myself a very simple thought struck my mind- these children aren’t just running anywhere, they are running away to outer spaces- away from the closed spaces, sometimes even to staircases, basically anywhere away from where they are at the moment. Here stems a simple idea to solve problems that might occur in such scenarios concerning their safety (which me and my team have very easily implemented in our work) A tuft of grass below every staircase for a safety cushion (literally) for the little ones that cannot keep calm! So simple yet so effective, right? There are small problems and big ones, so there must be small solutions along with big ones, right? Of course, a lot of revolutionary innovation goes into crafting better residences for better lives, but these little nuances must never be forgotten, and that’s the beauty of it. #ParentingChallenges #ChildSafety #InnovativeSolutions #ParentingTips #SmartParenting

3wI wish I had such a backpack 50 years ago (maybe with Flipper the Dolphin on it, as Paw Patrol did not exist yet 😂)
