The scooter is an awesome little device. It’s easy to ride, fun, and inexpensive. But it’s also dangerous. The scooter is a fast-moving, high-risk toy that can cause serious injury. As a parent, you’re responsible for teaching your kids how to safely play with these toys.
Determine Their Dominant Foot
In order to determine whether or not your kid will be able to ride a scooter, you have to figure out which foot they are more likely to use when they are playing with the scooter. If your kid tends to use their left foot when they ride the scooter, then it’s probably best to let them play with the scooter on the right side. However, if your kid uses their right foot, then it’s better to keep them away from the scooter.
Keep Them Away From Objects That Could Hurt Them
Another thing you should teach your kids is how to stay away from objects that could hurt them. The scooter has sharp edges and can be a dangerous toy. Teach your kids how to walk around the house and keep their eyes on where they are going. They should always look before they step.
Teach Them How to Ride the Scooter Safely
It’s also important to teach your kids how to ride the scooter safely. You should help them get on and off the scooter correctly. If your kids are younger than 6 years old, they should be able to do this on their own.
Teach Them Proper Scooter Etiquette
If your kids are older, you should also teach them proper scooter etiquette. When they are riding the scooter, they should always wear a helmet. They should also stay off of busy roads and stay away from pedestrians. If they have friends over, you should make sure that they are supervised while they ride the scooter.
Teach Them How to Ride the Scooter Safely
As your kids get older, they’ll probably be able to ride the scooter on their own. However, you should still help them when they’re learning how to ride the scooter safely. It’s important to teach your kids how to handle the scooter, and how to use it properly.
Wear Your Kid A Safety gears
Kids love to ride scooters, but they need to be careful. They could fall and get hurt. So, it is important to wear your kid's safety gear while riding a scooter. You should use a helmet and a neck protector. You should also use knee pads and elbow pads.
Go outdoor in a safe place once learned the basics
You should go out in a safe place to learn how to ride a scooter. This will help you to be more confident and comfortable. If you are afraid of falling, you should learn to fall without hurting yourself. If you learn to fall, you will know how to avoid falls.
Keep Their Toys Away From Scooters
Finally, you should keep all of your kids’ toys away from scooters. You should never allow your kids to play with any toys that could be dangerous.
