Posted on August 30, 2007 in Latest News

Diwali the festival of Lights is celebrated in a very joyous manner by one and all. One will see Diyas illuminated everywhere.

However, Diwali is more a festival of fire than a festival of lights.This is a time when parents have to be very careful about their children. Parents have to see to it that their children handle fire in a safe way. Children are drawn to fire like moths to a flame. They have a tendency to do things, which they are strictly told not to do.

It doesn’t need a festival like Diwali to bring out this urge. Children find it difficult to take warnings against playing with fire seriously. You cannot stop them from burning crackers however; you can prevent them from hurting themselves seriously. Here are some tips, which will help you deal with your child efficiently.

Impress on children that firecrackers can be dangerous if adequate precautions are not taken.

Make sure a responsible adult whom the children listen to, is present when they are bursting firecrackers. Children often tend to listen to their favorite aunt or uncle on these matters

Ensure that firecrackers are lit in an open space away from homes and cars.

Do not dress up your children in loose flowing robes or clothes made of silk.

Warn your children against lighting crackers while holding them in their hands.

And last, but not least, remember that Diwali is a festival to be enjoyed by all. So, celebrate in a manner that does not cause inconvenience or harm to your neighbor.
