THE ROLE OF PARENTS IN SHAPING PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN'S PERCEPTIONS OF SAFE BEHAVIOUR IN THE EVENT OF TERRORIST ACTS
The article describes some aspects of interaction between parents, children and teachers as part of a programme to develop preschool children's perceptions of safe behaviour at risk of terrorism-related emergencies. Special emphasis is placed on the importance of the parents' role not only in understanding the need to form children's perceptions of safety, but also in their active participation in teaching children strategies for adequate behaviour in various terrorism-related situations. Based on the materials of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defence, Emergencies and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters, practical recommendations for parents on children's safety are presented. Some strategies for children's behaviour allowing them to be situationally flexible and effective in safety questions are proposed. Taking into account the importance of psychological and pedagogical support for the family and raising the competence of parents (legal representatives) on child safety in case of terrorism threat, the article describes individual pedagogical consultations for parents on the issues of the child's education and development.
