การจมน้ำในเด็ก หลีกเลี่ยงได้ถ้ารู้จักป้องกัน

</p>
<p style="">Accidents happen unexpectedly, and most causes are preventable if the environment is properly managed along with close supervision of children.</p>
<h2 style=" color: #008080;">Drowning</h2>
<h4 style=" color: #008080;">(Infants aged 0-12 months)</h4>
<ul>
<li style=""> At 5-6 months old, water as shallow as 5 cm can cause drowning.</li>
<li style="">At 10-11 months old, if a child stands holding onto a water container about half their height and bends over, they may topple headfirst into the container and drown.</li>
<li style="">Remove unnecessary water sources in and around the house, such as emptying water containers, turning them upside down, and covering lids.</li>
<li style="">Install fences or gates to prevent children from accessing water sources, such as closing bathroom doors and front and back doors to keep children away from water, and fencing around water sources.</li>
<li style="">Caregivers must be aware and never leave children unattended near water sources, even for a moment.</li>
</ul>
<h4 style=" color: #008080;">(Preschool children aged 1-6 years) Previous advice and additional recommendations:</h4>
<ul>
<li style="">At 18 months, children can follow simple commands such as not walking near water, but they do not truly understand the risks.</li>
<li style="">At 2 years and older, children can begin training to surface from water and hold onto the edge when falling near the shore, and practice standing up in water shallower than two-thirds of their height (water recovery).</li>
<li style="">At 4 years and older, teach floating and short-distance swimming.</li>
<li style="">At 5 years and older, children should be taught to recognize risky water sources and how to avoid them.</li>
</ul>
<h4 style=" color: #008080;">(Children aged 6-12 years) Previous advice and additional recommendations:</h4>
<ul>
<li style="">Children at this age should be taught to recognize the risks and dangers of water sources in the community and natural water bodies, especially on the route from home to school.</li>
<li style="">Teach children to float, swim, and use life jackets when playing in water or traveling by water.</li>
<li style="">Teach children how to help drowning victims by shouting for help, throwing flotation devices, or extending objects to hold onto, but not jumping into the water to rescue.</li>
<li style="">There should be fences around community water sources such as rivers, canals, and reservoirs, and lifeguards or lifesaving equipment must be provided.</li>
</ul>

Because prevention is better, accidents in children during school holidays are mostly caused by drowning accidents in children.
