5 Important Places Near Your Home That Your Child Must Know About
By Amrita Minocha

Does your child know from where he/she could get help if an emergency arises? Or how to navigate to the nearest safe spot?
Research indicates that there are important places near our homes that children must know about — places that we don’t always deem necessary for them to visit or know about.
“Kids are quite smart about roads, locations, and places—smarter than we think” explains Sheetal, a mother and the curriculum head at Mumbai-based playschool Ra Butterflies.
“Ask him to draw his house and Neel will draw all the three buildings of our society.” She tells me that children make mental maps. Her five-year-old thinks of the entire apartment building when he imagines his house.
“But, they see places from a different viewpoint than ours,” she adds. Talking to her makes me think about all the mental maps my kid must have made.
It’s important that we direct this intelligence constructively and actually make them aware of the places that they must know about.
Here’s are 5 places near your house that your child should know of:
1) HospitalChildren need to know where they can get closest and fastest healthcare from.
“She’s not going there alone ever, is she?”
I was bouncing off this idea of the hospital topping the list of places that her daughter must know about with a friend of mine and she gave this not-so-encouraging response (since children are never going to visit it all by themselves). Do you feel the same?
A doctor speaks
“Ask him how he feels about a hospital,” says my son’s trusted paediatrician when I landed at his clinic for research. He wants me to ask my son his feelings about a hospital.
Feeling rather dissuaded by his response in the middle of a Monday afternoon, when his waiting room is full of patients who I’m sure are not there to question him like me, I almost compel the doctor to explain.
He says, “For them, a hospital is a place where doctors treat patients. Unlike adults, children do not have negative experiences attached to a hospital. It’s a great idea if they know where they can get closest and fastest healthcare from.”
He concludes by saying that to know about healthcare facilities in their locality only makes children smarter and worldly-wise.
I see no harm in that. Do you?
2) Transport stopKids should be made aware of how things operate within our public system.
The same concern that children never travel alone arises with these places as well. Then why enlist them here?
When I asked Anjali T Kumar who has PhD in Biodiversity and Conservation this, she says that kids should be made aware of how things operate within our public system.
Just because they don’t have to use a bus, train, or airplane alone does not mean that they should not know how these systems work.
“Basic knowledge of important locations in and around your house makes kids less vulnerable. It also reduces ignorance.”
Just an instance
Anjali recounts a time when she had organised a kid’s art camp. Most kids were within the age bracket of four-to-seven years. They were asked to imagine travelling to their favourite destination and creating a piece of art based on that.
“The younger lot only drew their favourite destination, while the older lot discussed the mode of travel as well.”
She thinks it’s necessary for children to know their whereabouts with respect to the world they live in. That idea starts from knowing their locality and the important places near their home.
