Role of parents

Supervising and protecting

In the early stages of a child's life, parents of infants and young children are responsible for:

  • supervising their children and remaining vigilant,
  • eliminating certain dangers,
  • ensuring safety in the home.

Guiding and educating

As the child gets older, parents must:

  • guide their child,
  • set a good example,
  • teach the child to recognise, assess and avoid dangers,
  • teach the child to manage risks,
  • explain dangers in clear and appropriate language.
