00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:04.180
Each year, an average of eight 
children die and more than 200,000

2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:08.370
children are treated in emergency
 rooms due to injuries sustained 

3
00:00:08.390 --> 00:00:12.550
on the playground. The majority
 of these injuries could have been prevented

4
00:00:12.570 --> 00:00:16.610
with proper playground supervision
 practices. In this video series, 

5
00:00:16.630 --> 00:00:20.770
you will learn about the National 
Program for Playground Safety's ABC's 

6
00:00:20.790 --> 00:00:24.780
of Supervision: Anticipation, 
Behavior, Considerations. 

7
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.880
The "A" in ABC's of Supervision is 
Anticipation. 

8
00:00:28.900 --> 00:00:32.970
We all understand the importance 
of a supervisor's presence when children 

9
00:00:32.990 --> 00:00:37.000
are on the playground, but there 
are several essential things to 

10
00:00:37.020 --> 00:00:41.190
anticipate before children arrive 
in order to prevent injuries

11
00:00:41.210 --> 00:00:45.380
and incidents. The "B" of the ABC's
 of Supervision relates 

12
00:00:45.400 --> 00:00:49.580
to the behaviors of students and 
supervisors. 

13
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.780
You can help create a positive play
 experience for all children by being 

14
00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:57.990
proactive, engaged, and 
responsive. The "C" of ABC's

15
00:00:58.010 --> 00:01:02.180
helps identify considerations 
for developing and 

16
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.380
implementing a supervision plan
 is an essential 

17
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.580
element in the overall safety of 
the play environment. This video will walk you through 

18
00:01:10.600 --> 00:01:14.760
specific elements to include in 
your organizations supervision 

19
00:01:14.780 --> 00:01:18.940
plan. Deliberate action steps by 
supervisors can make your 

20
00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:23.020
playground a safer place for all 
children.
