hn kids safe match use

PLAYING WITH matches is a dun-
gerous game. Matches are a tool, not
a toy,

_ Parents are advised to teach their
children that matches are a tool with
specific purposes, such as lighting
candles, starting a campfire or light-
ing a fire in a fireplace.

Parents should agree to let their
children strike matches and use fire
when they feel the need, but only in
the presence of a parent or a respon-
sible adult and under safe conditions.

Many fire play problems are
solved simply by having the child
promise to use fire and matches only

in the presence of parents and by the
parents agreeing to allow the child to
use matches when it is appropriate.
Proper use of fire includes teach-
ing the safe way to light matches,
The following teaching sequence is
suggested:
1. Open package and remove match
(use only the paper match); then
close package.
. Turn package over to the striking
sirface side.
3. Hold match in proper position and
strike away from the body.
4, Hold match in horizontal position
for two to three seconds.

5. Blew out the flame and wait until
match is cool to touch (five to 10
seconds).

Children's curiosity is generally
What causes them to play with
matches, This curiosity should be
guided by parents demonstrating the
proper and safe use of matches and
by letting the child strike matches
under proper supervision.

Experts also advise that if you, as
i parent, set a good example in safe
use of fire, your children will do the
same,
