Excerpt from Children's Safety Diary 1

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] #(Life Safety) Today, I put some oil in to fry an egg and added the egg, but after a while, the oil suddenly popped! It seems there was some water left in the frying pan. From now on, I will make sure to check for water before cooking.

#(Cyber Addiction) Cyber addiction refers to a state where playing internet games significantly interferes with normal studying or forming friendships. Fortunately, I have not fallen into cyber addiction.

Songpa-gu (District Mayor Park Seong-su) will hold the ‘2020 Children’s Safety Diary Excellence Award Ceremony’ on the 9th at the district office’s main conference room.

In July, the district produced 5,000 copies of safety diaries based on the seven standard guidelines for children’s safety education established by the Ministry of Education and distributed them to elementary school students.

The program was designed so that students could learn safe living habits by writing their own diaries.

The safety diary is composed of seven categories: ▲Life Safety ▲Traffic Safety ▲Violence Prevention and Personal Safety ▲Drug and Cyber Addiction ▲Disaster Safety ▲Occupational Safety ▲First Aid.

It helps children develop awareness of safety from an early age and the ability to respond to various risks encountered in daily life.

Especially, this year, safety information applicable to children’s real lives, such as infectious disease prevention rules and safe bicycle riding, was added.

For this award, the district received recommendations of safety diaries written by 2nd to 5th graders from 16 elementary schools during summer vacation, selecting 85 excellent works by school and grade. However, thorough COVID-19 prevention measures will be implemented, and only 16 5th-grade students will be invited to minimize attendance and safely conduct the event.

Park Seong-su, Mayor of Songpa-gu, said, “Children probably thought more about safety while writing diaries during summer vacation and came to cherish their families and friends more,” adding, “We will devote great effort to developing various policies such as safety and education so that safety habits become ingrained from childhood.”
