~What you can do to protect your child's head from injuries such as falls~<\/span><\/p>\n

Entering kindergarten or daycare is a big step for a child.<\/p>\n

While there are high expectations for your child's new growth, you may also have worries about whether they will be able to adjust well, and whether they will get into fights or get hurt.<\/p>\n

In particular, life at daycare is different from life at home, and it is an environment where unexpected falls and collisions can easily cause injuries. Head injuries from falls and collisions are one of the points that many parents are worried about.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

~The risk of head injuries lurking in kindergartens and daycare centers~<\/span><\/p>\n

Children have larger heads than adults, and their center of gravity is higher relative to their height. Because their muscles are still underdeveloped, they often trip and their feet don't move in time, resulting in them hitting their heads on the ground.<\/p>\n

Besides simple falls, there are injuries that occur in environments different from home.<\/p>\n

- A head-on collision during a chase<\/strong><\/p>\n

When children become engrossed in running, they lose awareness of their surroundings, making collisions with other children more likely.<\/p>\n

- Playing on playground equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n

The child lost their balance on a slide or jungle gym, fell, and hit their head on a support post or other part of the playground equipment.<\/p>\n

- Group living and group activities indoors<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the classroom, students may bump into the corners of desks or chairs, and unexpected collisions can occur while moving in groups in hallways or on stairwells.<\/p>\n

Children need constant supervision from adults, just like before they start kindergarten.1<\/span>In environments where it's difficult to keep an eye on people, the risk of injuries from accidents that could previously be prevented increases.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

~How to create a sense of security during "times when we can't keep a constant eye on each other"~<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what can we do to prevent injuries?<\/p>\n

While kindergartens and daycare centers strive to create an environment where injuries and accidents do not occur, it is extremely difficult to eliminate all injuries.<\/p>\n

What can parents do to help their children when they are watching from afar?<\/p>\n

While it may be difficult to "avoid falling," you can "reduce the damage" when you do fall.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

~The option of a head protection helmet~<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, one possible approach is,
\n**<\/strong><\/span>Head protection helmet (head guard)**<\/strong>is.\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The product we're introducing today is a shock-absorbing helmet designated by the Product Safety Association.SG<\/span>It is certified, and its performance has been evaluated by a third-party organization.Impact-absorbing helmet | Product Safety Association CPSA<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Wearing a head protection helmet during outdoor play or activities inside the nursery reduces the damage to the head in the event of a collision compared to wearing a regular kindergarten hat (colored hat).1\/14<\/strong><\/span>It can be reduced to this extent.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, unlike helmets, it uses a soft material, so it is designed to minimize the risk of injury to other children in the event of a collision.<\/p>\n

Head protection helmets contain a special foam material with shock-absorbing properties, which helps to mitigate the impact of falls and collisions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

"Our kindergarten has designated colored hats."\u2026<\/span>For those of you who are thinking, "I'm worried about that," please rest assured.<\/p>\n

An inner-type head protection helmet can also be worn under the designated hat.<\/p>\n

*You will need to purchase a larger size. This item cannot be worn under all hats.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It looks just like a regular school hat, but the inside is made of a material that provides excellent head protection.<\/p>\n

Since it's the same hat everyone else has, your child will likely wear it without any fuss.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

~Instead of "restricting," let's "increase what we can do."~<\/span><\/p>\n

For children entering kindergarten or nursery school and growing in a new environment.<\/p>\n

Rather than restricting them by saying "this is not allowed, that is not allowed," we want them to enjoy their time at the nursery school freely.<\/p>\n

Why not try incorporating this as one way to create an environment where children can play freely and safely?<\/p>\n
