The moment you become a parent, your mind starts to see the world as a minefield full of dangers that threaten to put your child in harm's way at every possible second. Therefore, you might feel a strong urge to wrap your child in bubble wrap or stick them in a big protective safety suit. This new short film "Safety Suit" brings that desire to life, and adds an important message at the end.
In the video, a young boy excitedly opens his big birthday "present." His joy turns to gloom, however, when sees that the gift is actually a full-sized, inflatable bubble-covered safety suit that he must wear all day, every day. Life in the safety suit is sad and lonely, as fun childhood activities like climbing on a playground and running around with friends turn into everyday struggles.
"Safety Suit" shows that this route is just not a practical way to keep your children safe.
So what is? That's where the video's message comes in, via text at the end: "You don't need to wrap your kids in cotton wool. Learn first aid for peace of mind." "Safety Suit" was created by St John Ambulance, a U.K.-based organization dedicated to providing first aid training, as part of their campaign to encourage parents to learn these life-saving skills.
According to the St John Ambulance website, "Our new research shows that almost all parents (98%) think that learning first aid is important, but in the last three years only 51% have done anything to actually learn these vital skills. We want to change this."
That's a change we can get behind!

ReplyDeleteThis is actually a milder version of fun, fit for the whole family to try out. There will be around thirty liters of water inside the ball to soften the ride for you. You will be wet and yes. Rocky Huynh
