Kids have less safety sense. Though it is difficult to stop the children from suffering inju?ries,we can always take measures and learn the first aid available in case of an emergency. Lis?ted below are a few tips on first aid and safety which should be paid attention to.

Tragedy involving fire is the worst and safety methods taken to prevent these things from happening are the best. Educating children on measures to prevent fire is the first step towards fire prevention. The next step is to operate tire items with care. Children should not be allowed to cook or operate a gas stove alone. Fire drills can help children learn the methods of escape in case of a fire. In case of burns of low intensity(强度) ，run cold water until the pain disappears; however, with serious burns,you must seek medical help immediately. Also make sure that there are enough smoke alarms installed in the house.

Another major fear involving kids is drowning. The children should never be left unattend?ed while swimming, even if your child is a great swimmer, if a girl has long hair she must make sure that she ties it firmly in the swimming cap before swimming to prevent it getting tangled (缠绕) in the pool. Take measures by making children wear lifesaving jackets and stop them from going to any place like the docks where water is dangerous to swimmers.

Carbon dioxide is poisonous especially to children. Even a small dose of it can be fatal for them or at least has the power to make a child seriously ill. Place all medicines and other poison?ous substance away from the reach of children.

Learning to play a musical instrument can change your brain. A US review has found that musical training can improve speech and foreign language skills.

Although it was suggested in the past that listening to Mozart's music or other classical mu?sic make you smarter, there has been little evidence to show that music can boost brain power.

But a data-driven review by Northwestern University has pulled research together that links between musical training and learning can affect skills including language，speech，memory，at?tention and even vocal emotion.

Researcher Nina Kraus said the data strongly suggested that the neural(神经中枢的) connec?tions made during musical training also prepared the brain for other aspects of human communi?cation.

"The effect of musical training suggests that music is a resource that tones(增强) the brain for auditory(听觉的) fitness and thus requires society to re-examine the role of music in encoura?ging individual development.”the researchers said in their study.

Kraus said learning musical sounds could improve the brain's ability to adapt and change and also enable the nervous system to provide constructive patterns that are important to learn?ing.

The study,published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, showed the improvement of re?search in recent years focusing on the effect of musical training on the nervous system which could have strong impact on education.

The study found that playing an instrument prepares the brain to choose what is related in the complex process that may involve reading or remembering a score，timing issues and coordi?nation(协调) with other musicians.

"A musician's brain selectively enhances information -bearing elements in sound," Kraus said in a statement. The study also reviewed literature showing, for example, that musicians are more successful than " non-musicians in learning to connect sound patterns for a new language with words.
