Instructor "LizaAlert" told how to teach a child the rule of three "O" in the forest

Instructor of the “LizaAlert” squad Ekaterina Razzhigaeva said that parents should teach their child the rule of three “Os”: when lost, you need to stop, look back and shout out.

The child needs to be explained that screaming loudly and calling for help in an emergency is correct, and that they need to respond to any screams or noise.

It is also important to explain to your child that approaching bodies of water in the forest without adults is dangerous.

MOSCOW, September 5 - RIA Novosti. Before going into the forest, parents should teach their child the rule of three “Os” - if you get lost, you need to stop, look back and shout out, Ekaterina Razzhigaeva, an instructor in the “Prevention” direction of the “LizaAlert” search and rescue team, told RIA Novosti.

“Teach your child the rule of three “Os”: if you get lost, stop, look around, shout. The child should know that he needs to stay in place, adults will look for him. This may seem strange, but many children simply do not know how to scream loudly enough. Practice in advance,” said the agency’s interlocutor.

The instructor emphasized that parents must explain to the child that screaming loudly and calling for help in an emergency is correct and not shameful, and that one must respond to any screams and noise, even if they do not call his name.
