Diwali 2018: If your kids are splitting firecrackers, here's how you can keep them safe.
By Mansi Jain
Diwali is an omen of joy and zeal. But what excites children the most is the fireworks. However, they must be careful when lighting cookies to avoid any incident. Here are some tips for parents to ensure the safe handling of crackers.
Buy at an authorized store
Make sure to buy crackers from authorized dealers. Also check the brand and do not buy cheap crackers. Not only that, think about the age of your baby before buying cookies. Keeping your children safe should be your priority, so do not compromise there.
Bursting crackers in an open space
Never burst the cookies in a crowded space. Try to gather in an open space without inflammatory objects. Also, avoid keeping the pyrotechnic stock near the place where you bake crackers, so you do not accidentally do it.
Use incense sticks
Instead of lighting a box of matches each time, use an incense stick. It helps to give the buffer some time to get out of the cracker before it breaks.

Never leave the child alone
Do not leave your child alone while cracking crackers. Accompany them and ask them to pay attention. Make sure that an elder is always with your child.
Covers your mouth
Cookies should be avoided because they cause a variety of respiratory and respiratory problems. However, if you burn them again, be sure to cover your mouth properly with a mask.

Keep the water and sand around
Sand helps to extinguish the fire faster than water. So fill your buckets with sand and water to stay prepared for all types of problems.
Wear glasses
Smoke and pollution from crackers are harming our eyes. Thus, it is not painful to cover one's eyes by wearing an anti-reflective glass. It is easily available on the market or even online.
Stay away
Make sure your child never looks into a cookie by turning it on. Keep a considerable distance from the cookie to avoid the rocket that could potentially harm your baby and you. Also, never try to light a used cookie.
Wear cotton clothes
Dress your child in the lightest clothes. Avoid wearing nylon as it is easily flammable. Also make sure your children wear shoes when they handle crackers.
Keep a first aid kit handy
Always be prepared for any danger. So keep the first aid kit handy with ointments like Burnol, Dettol, etc.
In addition, in the event of a burn or injury, pour cold water on the wound for at least 10 minutes. We must rush to the doctor without delay. Also, if your toddler feels eye irritation, wash it with cold water and eye drops.
