On several occasions we have talked about child accidents and the incidence they present, taking as an example the survey prepared by the Ministry of Health of the Valencian Community we can realize the importance of parents trying to raise awareness and prevent accidents, especially those that occur at home.
Up to 37.1% of childhood accidents suffered in this community occur at home, being a much higher percentage when it comes to children under 5, up to 66.5%. The worst data is 11.44% of deaths resulting from these accidents in children under 0 to 14 years.
Many of the children's accidents at home can easily be avoided, you just have to monitor and adapt all the rooms of the house to be safer and avoid accidents such as falling down the stairs, drinking or touching poisonous products, etc. All the protections and precautions available to parents disappear as the child becomes aware and learns what a danger is and how it is avoided. It is necessary to give more importance to the aspects that perhaps some parents value as insignificant, it would also be interesting to know what are the dangers of a home for a child, since sometimes these are unknown. Some guide or course on this subject would provide us with the necessary knowledge.
Another problem that truncates the lives of many children is transport, traffic accidents represent one of the leading causes of infant mortality reaching 47% of deaths. Now the summer holidays begin, parents are responsible for the lives of our children, that the rush does not obstruct us, do not lose our nerves, let's rest what is necessary, these measures will reduce the risk of suffering a traffic accident.
The reading of the statistics that the ABC digital publication shows us can be comparable with that of any Spanish autonomous community, let's be cautious and avoid that our children swell those figures.
