Supervise
kids activity for healthy children
There
are many easy ways that early childhood services can keep children safe during
indoor and outdoor physical activity:
Ensure
there is plenty of room for activities.
It is important
to make sure your children are engaged in tasks and activities that match their
skills and abilities.
Encourage
parents to dress their children in appropriate clothing and footwear that
allows mobility.
Maintain
and regularly check all equipment and resources to ensure that they are not a
hazard to young children.
Ensure
that all fixed playground equipment meets the current Australian Standards
Guidelines and is appropriate for the ages, interests and abilities of the
children attending the service. In addition, it is important to consider the
layout of the service and take precautions to avoid injuries to children from
things such as trip hazards, protruding objects and inappropriate surfacing
beneath equipment.
Use the
Cancer Council's SunSmart guidelines when children are playing outdoors.
Encourage
children to drink plenty of water when they are being active or playing
outdoors.
Always have adults supervising all activities
