Keeping Your Children Safe on the Internet

1.      Step into their cyber world

Parents have to get involved. Spend time with them while they browse online and check the sites they visit.

2.      Set house rules
           

Decide how much time your children are allowed to use the internet per day/week. Monitor that this timetable is being followed.

3.      Educate yourself

Do not rely on anyone else to tell them what they should be doing, and often educate means learning yourself. Take the time to learn about the internet yourself. Keep yourself updated with the new trends (negative or positive) happening online.  When we are educating children, it’s good to have a base.

4.      Educate early and often

Educate children about the dangers of the internet as soon as they started browsing, and remind them of safe online behaviour regularly – don’t accept friendship requests from people you don’t know, verify requests if they look to be coming from someone you do know, never agree to a private chat with a stranger etc.

5.      Teach them to protect their privacy

While they won't fully understand the consequences of revealing personal information online, you should still make sure your children know:

* never to give their name, phone number, e-mail address, password, postal address, school, or picture without your permission
* not to open e-mail from people they don't know
* not to respond to hurtful or disturbing messages
* not to get together with anyone they "meet" online.

6.      Location of the computer

Keep the computer in a central spot, where it's easy to monitor its use.

7.      Communication is key

Be open, approachable and understanding about what the children are doing online. This way it makes it easier for them to approach us with any problems they are experiencing online, and they will feel free enough to ask for advice.

           

8.      Protect your computer

Regularly updating your security software can protect your family against scammers, hackers, and other online threats that can compromise your computer system and, consequently, your family’s financial security and other private information. Using software security that automatically updates keeps your technology current and decreases the likelihood of picking up bad programs or malware.

Basic training on First Aid

• What is first aid?

Any immediate assistance or treatment given to a person who is injured or suddenly taken ill, before the arrival of skilled medical help is called first aid

• Why do we need it?

In emergency situation, injuries are often aggravated due to lack of adequate and proper care. Proper first aid always helps to reduce casualties in a post disaster situation.

The aim of first aid is to

1. Preserve life and limbs

2. To limit further injuries or limit worsening of the injury

3. To promote recovery

• How to Administer first aid?

·        Don’t panic. Stay calm. Always call for help.

·        After ensuring your own safety, check for general responsiveness of the victim. 

·        Assess the injured person in the position he was found, don’t try to move.

·        Check for Airway, Breathing and Circulation (ABCs of resuscitation). These three are required for maintaining life.

·        Check for the level of consciousness by tapping on shoulder. If there is no response, you can gently shake him.

·        Conscious victim’s ability to speak ensures proper air way or that the air passage is not blocked.

·        For unconscious victim, put your ear over victim’s mouth and nose and listen for breathing. If you do not see, hear or feel patients breathing air, or the victim is not breathing normally, start Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).

·        After you have determined victim’s responsiveness and breathing, check for adequate circulation by feeling the pulse in the side of neck.

·        After ensuring that the patient is conscious and breathing normally, then proceed to check for deformity, obstruction, tenderness and swelling in head, neck, chest, back, abdomen and pelvis.

Steps for performing CPR

1.      Push hard, push fast. Place your hands, one on top of the other, in the middle of the chest. Use your body weight to help you administer compressions that are at least 2 inches deep and delivered at a rate of at least 100 compressions per minute.

2.      Deliver rescue breaths. With the person's head tilted back slightly and the chin lifted, pinch the nose shut and place your mouth over the person's mouth to make a complete seal. Blow into the person's mouth to make the chest rise. Deliver two rescue breaths, then continue compressions.

Note: If the chest does not rise with the initial rescue breath, re-tilt the head before delivering the second breath. If the chest doesn't rise with the second breath, the person may be choking. After each subsequent set of 100 chest compressions, and before attempting breaths, look for an object and, if seen, remove it.

3.Continue CPR steps. Keep performing cycles of chest compressions and breathing until the person exhibits signs of life, such as breathing or a trained medical responder arrives on scene.

Note: End the cycles if the scene becomes unsafe or you cannot continue performing CPR due to exhaustion.
