[Explanation] Currently, the flood season and summer season overlap in many places in China, and child drowning accidents have entered a period of high incidence. According to media reports, on July 12, in Tiexi Economic and Technological Development Zone, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, five children were swimming wild and three drowned. From July 6th to 13th, many child drowning accidents also occurred in Dongguan, Guangdong, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, Pingguo, Guangxi, and Puyang, Henan. The tragedy once again sounded the alarm for the safety of summer vacation.
[Concurrent] Parents
The first is very sad. If the society has relevant courses in this area that can be popularized to parents, it would be better to make parents more aware of this area. For these children whose parents are not around, the village committee can do some education in this area.

Try to stay away from the river, don't take your child (to the river), especially don't let him out of sight. I took him swimming, and always took him to the regular swimming pool. I hope that especially primary and secondary schools should give them training once or twice a semester, so that they can conduct some safety education.
[Concurrent] Parents
I think the responsibility of parents is great, because you have to pay attention to it. If you catch up with this kind of increase, the consequences will be disastrous. The school should be just like other natural disasters, and it should have a reminder. If it is a public place, I think it must be marked to let the adults know that it is dangerous, and then the adults will protect the children. It is better if there are manpower to patrol and inspect.
[Explanation] Interviewees generally believe that in safety education, parents need to play an important role, and schools and society should also do something. Xiong Bingqi, deputy dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said that most child drowning accidents occur on weekends, holidays or after school, and they are mostly in rural areas or unattended rivers and ponds. Therefore, ensuring the safety of minors requires the participation of the whole society.

There are not many such accidents in regular places. The swimming pool (management) is very standard and there are such lifeguards. In rural areas, some Yehedao or reservoirs actually have this kind of safety warning signs and many warning lines, but some students simply don’t pay attention to this problem. Set up artificial intelligence (facilities), as long as I find a child in the past, I will call the police, but for monitoring to work, it also depends on a series of follow-up safeguards. Therefore, I think we must perform our duties. Schools must perform their educational duties. Parents must perform their own guardianship duties. There are child directors in the society, especially villages. They should understand the situation of their children, keep this contact with them in time, and pay attention to them. Action.
[Explanation] Xiong Bingqi believes that safety education is actually a kind of life education. Through the organization of swimming and other survival skills training courses, and the construction of standardized rural swimming pools, measures such as drowning can be effectively prevented.

More importantly, children like to play in the water, but he does not have a place where he can play in the water safely. Some children can only go to the Yehedao to play in the water. Students go swimming in the wild river. After encountering this kind of problem, they don't know how to save themselves or save others. When conditions permit, carry out swimming lessons and train students in this skill of swimming. In fact, he has mastered the skill of swimming. Nowadays, some rural areas have begun to build standardized swimming pools. After you build a standardized swimming pool, none of the children will go to the wild lake to swim again, which greatly reduces drowning accidents.
