fa P17: Road Safety Education for Children تحقیقات پایه در علوم اعصاب Basic research in Neuroscience مروری Review --- Open Access, CC-BY-NC <p style="text-align: center;">لطفاً به چکیده انگلیسی مراجعه شود.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Road safety is a great subject to engage children and young people. It&#39s a very important subject because everyone uses roads and road danger impacts on everyone. Children don&#39t have the same ability to judge distances, speed, and noise direction. Therefore, it&#39s really important to ensure that children have a good understanding of basic street safety when they start walking around the local and city streets without parents. Road safety education is a lifelong learning process, and educational measures need to be appropriate to the child&rsquo;s stage of development, starting with practical pedestrian and then cyclist skills, but increasingly involving higher-level skills to match children&rsquo;s increasing independence as pedestrians, cyclists and ultimately young adult drivers. All road users have a task to keep children safe, so it is also important to target drivers through training and publicity and to make parents aware of their key role in improving the safety of their children. In conclusion, parents are important role models for their children and can inculcate safe behavior through example, for instance in the use of seat belts and in their behavior as pedestrians.</p> Children, Education, Road Safety 44 44 http://shefayekhatam.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-24-650&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Arezou Eshaghabadi Arezou Eshaghabadi 10031947532846007769 10031947532846007769 No Shefa Neuroscience Research Center, Khatam Alanbia Hospital, Tehran, Iran Shefa Neuroscience Research Center, Khatam Alanbia Hospital, Tehran, Iran Sajad Sahab Negah Sajad Sahab Negah sahabsajad@yahoo.com 10031947532846007770 10031947532846007770 Yes a.
