Ngaba ikhuselekile kwimilenze yomntwana ukuchukumisa isihlalo sithuthi ngelixa ugibele kwisihlalo esibheke kwimoto? Kuthiwani ngalawo milenze emancinci ixhomekeke ekupheleni kwesitulo sevili lesana? Ngaba oko kuthetha ukuba umntwana unzima kakhulu kwisihlalo?
Abazali abaninzi abatsha babuza le mibuzo, kodwa ngelishwa, ezininzi iimpendulo ezintle kodwa ezingalunganga zijikelezayo. Abazali abatsha bava iingcebiso zesikhokelo sezimoto ezivela kubahlobo kunye nentsapho enomdla, okanye nakubantu abangaziwayo, ukuba umntwana wabo unzima kakhulu ukukhwela kwi-back-facing okanye kwisihlalo esithile semoto.
Isigwebo
Iingcali zonke zokukhusela abagibeli kunye nemibutho yokukhusela iyavuma ukuba ikhuselekile loo milenze emincinci yokuthintela isihlalo sithuthi xa ugibela ubuso obusemva. Ukuba awuqinisekanga, hlola incwadi yokufundisa yesitulo somntwana wakho. Kuya kukunika iingcebiso ngokucacileyo malunga nendlela yokusebenzisa isihlalo esithile semoto ngokukhuselekileyo. Ukuba ayikuxwayisi ngemilenze echukumisa isihlalo, ayikho into.
Kuthiwani ngenduduzo?
Abanye abazali nabagxeki beemoto bayazibuza ukuba umntwana omele ayenze ntoni nangemilenze yakhe ende xa behlala bejongene neminyaka emininzi. "Akunakukwazi ukukhululeka!" yinto eqhelekileyo.
Nangona ibukeka ingahlali kakuhle emehlweni ethu omdala, ngokwenene ikhululekile kakhulu ukuba abantwana bakhwele kwihlalo elibheke phambili lemoto. Njengoko uyazi, abancinci banokuzibandakanya kuzo zonke iintlobo zezikhundla eziza kubangela ubuhlungu obukhulu kubantu abadala. Ukuphakamisa imilenze yabo kwisihlalo okanye baxhomeke kwicala lesitulo senqwelo emncinane xa kuthelekiswa.
Okubaluleke ngakumbi, nangona kunjalo, ukhuselekile kwimilenze yomntwana ukuchukumisa isihlalo sithuthi xa ugibela kwisihlalo somoto esibheke ngasemva.
I-Myth Broken Leg
Kubonakala ngathi ukuhlala kwisihlalo esibhekene nesimo semoto kungasenza umntwana abe mngciphekweni wemilenze ephulekileyo. Ukuhlala ubuso obusemva kukubonelela ngokukhuselekileyo ngentloko, entanyeni, nangomgudu ngokuphazamiseka.
Kukho na ukuphazamiseka okwaneleyo okwenza imilenze ephulekileyo, kuya kuba neyona nto inokuba yintlekele entloko, entanyeni kunye nakwenzakalo. Ngoko umcimbi wokukhetha ukukhusela iindawo ezibalulekileyo. Kulula kakhulu ukulungisa umlenze ophukile kunentamo ephukile, umzekelo.
Ngokomntwana okhuselekileyo, iseshoni yoqeqesho lobugcisa, imilenze ephukileyo yinto yesibini eyingozi ngokubanzi kubantwana abajongene nokuphambuka. Kungenxa yokuba imilenze yomntwana iphonswa phambili ngexesha lokuphazamiseka kwaye inokubetha isitulo sangaphambili sithuthi okanye idibanise. Ukuba unenkxalabo ngemilenze ephukileyo, ukutshintsha kwisihlalo sokuhamba esinqamle imoto akusiyo impendulo!
Ukushiya isihlalo seMoto
Ukungaqondi kakuhle okukhankanywe ngasentla kukuba iintsana zikhupha iinqanawa zabo zeemoto xa imilenze yabo ixhomekeke emaphethelweni kunye neenyawo zabo ziyakuthinta isihlalo sithuthi. Isikhundla semilenze yomntwana ayinandaba. Uyakwazi ukuba umntwana wakho uye wangena kwisihlalo saloo ntsana xa kukho ngaphantsi kwe-intshi yegobolondo elukhuni phezu kwentloko yentsana, okanye xa umntwana wakho udlula ubude obuphezulu okanye ubunzima besitulo semoto. Kufuneka ujonge kwakhona incwadi yokufundisa ukuze ubone ukuba kukho naziphi na iziphakamiso zesayizi, okanye imiyalelo ephathelele ukuphuma kwesihlalo, okucacileyo kwisitulo semoto yakho.
Kubantwana abancinci kunye nabancinci abanemilenze yabo yokugqithisa isihlalo seemoto esibheke ngasemva, banokuhlala emagxeni, bafaka imilenze yabo emacaleni esihlalo saloo moto, okanye baxhomekeke kwisihlalo sithuthi. Izihlalo zeemoto eziguqukayo zanamhlanje zineemida ezijoliswe kumva ezingama-35, 40, kunye nama-50. Ininzi yalezo zihlalo zeemoto zineengqungquthela ezide kwaye zingakwazi ukufumana umntwana osecaleni ixesha elide kunokuba kunconywe ubuncinane ubuncomekayo, obuneminyaka emibili ubudala. Abantwana abathathu abaneminyaka emithathu okanye emine ubudala banokuhlala bejongene ngokukhuselekileyo kwaye bathuthuzeleke kwenye yezihlalo zeemoto, ngenjongo yokubonelela ngokufanelekileyo intloko yabo, intamo kunye nomqolo, kungakhathaliseki ukuba bafaka imilenze yabo.
