ParentsSchool Bus Safety for Kids
Since children do not drives buses and cars, they have no idea
how much responsibility and concentration it takes. Parents need to
educate their children about this to ensure that they behave
responsibly when traveling in the school bus.
1. Educate kids
about how distracting the driver can cause an accident for which
everyone in the bus has to suffer. 2. Teach children that they
should not shout, yell, fight, move from one seat to another and
shout from windows as it will put them all in danger since the
driver is busy keeping an eye on them through the bus mirror instead
of concentrating on the road traffic. 3. Make sure your child
arrives at the bus stop well before time and stands at least 10 feet
(tell them "five giant steps") away from the edge of the road. 4.
Educate them to never enter a bus when it is in motion. Let the bus
stop and the door open. The driver will nod them in. 5. Take care
that water bottle and backpack straps or clothing drawstrings etc.
do not get caught in the handrail when entering or exiting the bus.
6. If they drop something beside or in front of the bus, they should
first tell the driver that they are going to pick it up or else the
driver could mistakenly drive on them. 7. And lastly, let your
kids know that riding in the school bus is not a right, but a
privilege which can be withdrawn if they misbehave.
