Ukhuseleko lwamanzi kunye nokuntywila

Ukurhaxwa ngunobangela okhokelela ekufeni phakathi kwabantu bayo yonke iminyaka. Ukufunda nokuziqhelanisa nokhuseleko lwamanzi kubalulekile ukuthintela iingozi zokurhaxwa.

Iingcebiso zokukhusela amanzi kuyo yonke iminyaka zibandakanya:

• Funda iCPR.
• Ungaze udade uwedwa.
• Ungaze ungene emanzini ngaphandle kokuba wazi kwangaphambili ukuba bunzulu kangakanani.
• Yazi imida yakho. SUKUYA kwiindawo zamanzi ongenakuziphatha.
• Hlala ngaphandle kwemisinga eyomeleleyo nokuba uyindadi enamandla.
• Funda malunga nokuhamba kwemisinga kunye nokuzibophelela kunye nendlela yokuqubha kuyo.
• Soloko unxiba izinto zokugcina ubomi xa uhamba ngesikhephe, nokuba uyakwazi ukudada.
• SUKUZALISISA umthwalo kwisikhephe sakho. Ukuba isikhephe sakho sijikile, hlala kunye nesikhephe de kufike uncedo.

MUSA ukusela utywala ngaphambi okanye ngexesha lokuqubha, ukukhwela iphenyane, okanye ukuskiya emanzini. Sukusela utywala ngelixa ujonge abantwana kumanzi.

Xa uhamba ngesikhephe, yazi imozulu yendawo kunye noqikelelo. Jonga amaza ayingozi kunye nokuqhekeka kwemisinga.

Beka ucingo macala onke amadama okuqubha asekhaya.

• Ucingo kufuneka lwahlule ngokupheleleyo iyadi nendlu echibini.
• Ucingo kufuneka lube zi-4 iinyawo (i-120 cm) okanye ngaphezulu.
• I-latch ecingweni kufuneka izivale kwaye ingafikeleleki kubantwana.
• Gcina isango livaliwe kwaye libotshelelwe ngamaxesha onke.

Xa ushiya iphuli, beka zonke izinto zokudlala echibini kunye nomgangatho. Oku kunceda ukususa isilingo sokuba abantwana bangene kwindawo yokubhukuda.

Ubuncinci umntu omdala ophetheyo kufuneka abeke iliso kubantwana abancinci xa bedada okanye bedlala emanzini okanye bejikeleze amanzi.

• Umntu omdala kufuneka abe kufutshane ngokwaneleyo ukufikelela umntwana ngawo onke amaxesha.
• Ukongamela abantu abadala akufuneki bafunde, bathethe emnxebeni, okanye benze nayiphi na enye into ebenza bangabukeli umntwana okanye abantwana ngalo lonke ixesha.
• Ungaze ushiye abantwana abancinci bengahoywanga echibini elingena emanzini, ichibi lokuqubha, ichibi, ulwandle, okanye umlambo-nokuba ngumzuzwana nje.

Fundisa abantwana bakho ukudada. Kodwa qonda ukuba oku kukodwa akuyi kuthintela abantwana abancinci ukuba barhaxwe. Izinto zokudlala ezigcwaliswe ngumoya okanye amagwebu (amaphiko, ii-noodle, kunye neetyhubhu zangaphakathi) ayisiyonto ethatha indawo yeebhatyi zobomi xa uhamba ngesikhephe okanye xa umntwana wakho esemanzini avulekileyo.

Thintela ukuntywila ngeenxa zonke ekhaya:

• Zonke iibhakethi, amachibi okubhukuda, izifuba zomkhenkce, kunye nezinye izikhongozeli kufuneka zichithwe kanye emva kokusetyenziswa kwaye zigcinwe zijonge ezantsi.
• Funda ukuziqhelanisa neendlela ezifanelekileyo zokukhusela igumbi lokuhlambela, kananjalo. Gcina iziciko zangasese zivaliwe. Sebenzisa izitshixo zezihlalo zangasese de abantwana bakho babe neminyaka emithathu ubudala. SUKUSIZA abantwana abancinci bengakhathalelwanga ngelixa behlamba.
• Gcina iingcango kwigumbi lakho lokuhlamba kunye nezindlu zangasese zivaliwe ngalo lonke ixesha. Cinga ukufaka ii-latches kule minyango angenakufikelela kuyo umntwana wakho.
• Yazi imijelo yokunkcenkceshela kunye neminye imimandla yemijelo yamanzi ejikeleze ikhaya lakho. Oku kukwadala neengozi zokuntywila kubantwana abancinci.
