5 Things Every Parent Must Do For Their Children's Career
Here are a few tips to ensure road safety for students:
- Educate your wards to avoid footboard travel. Sensitise them that being cool is not putting safety at stake.
- Do not let them travel in motor vehicles without a license
- Be their example by crossing only on zebra-crossing and adhering to traffic signals while travelling with them. They would spontaneously pick up the good habit.
- Hone their observation skills by making them look at both sides of the road while crossing each time they accompany you.
- Encourage them to take the assistance of traffic police or elders while crossing the road in your absence.
- Teach them about the functions of horn and head-light so that they are alert to sound and sight.
