A couple in Bengaluru were filmed travelling on a two-wheeler with their child standing on the footstep, leading to criticism and official action. This incident highlights a wider issue of endangering children’s safety on roads like carrying them without seatbelts, not using child helmets, speeding with kids onboard or crossing roads unsafely. Below are some tips from your perspective on how we can make our children safer while they are on the road.

1. Give Your Child A Proper Helmet: Teach them why it is important to always wear a properly fitting helmet when riding a bicycle, or skateboard. Ensure that every time they participate in wheeled activities the helmet used meets safety standards and is worn properly.
2. Teach Them The Basics Of Road Safety: From an early age educate your kids about traffic signs, signals and pedestrian crossings. Do practice exercises where you look left and right before crossing while waiting for the green light representative.
3.  Keep An Eye On Them When They Are Playing Near Roads:Advise them to play in areas specifically designated for this purpose and far from any motor vehicle traffic. Supervise infants closely around driveways, parking lots and roads so as to prevent any accidents occurring.
4. Have Clear Rules And Boundaries At All Times: Make it known that there should be no compromise when it comes to safety on roads i.e.; holding hands while crossing streets or walking along highways without sidewalks among others.Inform children about places which might be safe for playing games outside so they do not go wandering
5. Always adhere to traffic rules, fasten your seatbelt while driving, and ensure that children are also securely strapped in with seat belts or child restraint systems. Remember, your children look up to you, so set a positive example as a responsible drive.
6. Increase Visibility:Dress kids in bright clothing that can be seen easily, especially when it’s dark or they’re walking or cycling near roads. Use reflective stickers or accessories on backpacks, clothes or bikes to Model Safe Behavior. Be a good example and follow the traffic rules yourself, such as wearing seat belts, using pedestrian crosswalks, and obeying the signals.Tell them why they need to practice safety precautions and always demonstrate it for them.
7. Awareness of Potential Hazards: Discuss age-appropriate road hazards with children like over-speeding cars, drivers who are not paying attention and cannot see them (blind spots). Teach children how to be careful and watchful particularly when they are in unknown areas where there is a lot of movement from vehicles on busy streets.
8. Safe Walking and Riding Practices:Educate kids on riding bicycles, scooters or skateboards within designated lanes or away from traffic if possible. It is advisable to walk in groups or with adults using sidewalks or footpaths.
