Hello friends of

Hive account@steemiteducation, in today's post I wanted to touch a topic that I think is very important in the education of our children, my oldest daughter Sophia is already 8 years old and for a while now I have been concerned in teaching her Education Vial, since at this age it is more likely that it will start at some point to go out alone to the streets to nearby places, to cross the street alone and to make decisions related to public roads and it is very necessary that you know how to behave which actions to take and the risks to which it may be exposed.

If we want to bet on the maximum safety of our children, one of the alternatives to take into account is to motivate the transmission of road education in the teaching centers and the family nucleus so that they know how to function in the streets of the city.

A road safety program, as an integral part of the education of students from an early age in every educational center is of the utmost importance, it is necessary to transmit to the small knowledge in terms of road safety, to avoid possible accidents.

What is the purpose of road education?

The main objective of road education is to promote and develop intellectual skills and certain skills so that children know how to behave from now on the public road, either as a mere pedestrian or when they are old enough to drive a vehicle.

Beyond the teaching centers, it is very important that the parents themselves do their part, even minimally, so that their children can develop values, attitudes and rules of road behavior during their first years

The need for adults to accompany children to move through the streets of the city basically responds to the fact that children in their early years have not yet developed their sensitive perception, their ability to reason, abilities in psychomotor skills or to make decisions regarding to what can be done in the face of any problem or obstacle that may occur on the roads.

What do children learn in road safety education?

The contents that revolve around the road education and that our children could receive in the educational centers are directed, for example, to define what is a public road, making clear its typology, characteristics and fundamental parts, as well as basic notions on traffic rules and main traffic signs.

As I said before, we will try to develop certain skills and warning signs to move as a pedestrian in the city, the possible risks of traffic accidents or, even, the benefits that a sustainable mobility can provide.

Games in road safety education for children!!

All the games and activities that can be developed, combining both playful and merely informative aspects, must be adapted at all times to each age group, considering their level of independence and knowledge on the subject.

The idea of this type of activity is to recreate real situations that the child can find both in a rural and urban environment so that in this way he knows what he should and should not do in each type of situation, what is the main meaning of the signs traffic with which you will find yourself on the road, which are the safest attitudes that we can take to practice and, of course, encourage respect for others, one of the values that many times, both pedestrians and drivers do not usually have account and that it is convenient to promote and transmit from an early age.

Other important values are coexistence, solidarity, tolerance, responsibility and, in short, favor human relationships on public roads at all times.

Nowadays it is very important to promote road safety both through actions to disclose more responsible driving behavior and analyzing the circumstances and the reasons for accidents, in this way, to determine which are the most appropriate behaviors they will help us avoid them.

Road safety education must be one of the basic pillars in the formation of the youngest children from an early age if we want to contribute to their maximum safety and protection of their well-being.
