Children stay at home for a long time during the holidays and have more time for free activities. The winter vacation coincides with the New Year’s Day, Spring Festival, and Lantern Festival, which is the peak period for travel and also the time for various activities. During this period of high incidence of safety accidents, parents are kindly requested to pay attention to the safety of their children at home and out.

Set off fireworks. Parents should take the lead in banning fireworks and firecrackers. Especially during the Spring Festival, make sure not to buy or set off fireworks to make the sky bluer and the air fresher in the Ice City.

4. Prevent drowning and falling injuries. The temperature is low in winter, so be careful not to slip when going out to avoid falls; when the weather warms up after the Spring Festival, the ice will gradually melt and the ice surface will not be solid. Avoid playing and skating on ponds and rivers to prevent the ice from breaking and causing drowning accidents occurrence.

Help children properly arrange their daily study and activity time online, avoid being addicted to online games, surf the Internet in a civilized manner, and avoid logging into unhealthy websites. Review your homework during the holidays, check for any gaps and fill them in, and complete your winter vacation homework carefully.

9. We must cultivate the good moral character of respecting the elderly, caring for the young, and being diligent and thrifty. It is necessary to educate children to help their parents with housework and participate in useful social practice activities, to be diligent and thrifty, and not to spend money recklessly.
