January 15 noon, the reporter saw the video of the little boy Junjun (a pseudonym) in the noodle shop in Pukou District, he was sitting on a stool playing with toys, his arm is still tethered to the video of the small white rope. Junjun’s grandmother Ma aunt told reporters that Junjun is more than 2 years old, is active and active age, to the grandson tethered rope is also no way things. “Usually his parents and I are busy in the store, no one has time to take care of him, so tethered to us to be more at ease. “The reporter learned that from the time Jun Jun was more than 1 year old can walk, began to use the rope to him tethered, and now has nearly a year.

Auntie Ma took the reporter to look at the store door, said, “out is the road, opposite is the construction site, the store customers in and out. In case one did not watch, he pushed the door to run out how to do? It’s too unsafe. The mother of Junjun also told reporters, don’t look at the rope tied Junjun so honest, once the rope can be loosened can not control, only want to run outside the store, “let him To run outside is too unsafe, or let him stay in the store, in front of our eyes to be more at ease. “

Auntie Ma’s family, food and housing are in the store. Downstairs is the noodle shop, upstairs is where the family lives. In addition to noon will go upstairs for an hour or two lunch break, Junjun stay in the daytime behind the cashier’s small table and chairs near.

The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. When the Spring Festival break, our family and then take him to play in Nanjing. “

Expert analysis: tethered body also “tethered away” a sense of security

The former director of the Nanjing Psychological Crisis Intervention Center, psychologist Zhang Chun believes that children have their own growth process, the growth process requires a sense of security, intimacy and a sense of belonging. The parents’ helplessness is understandable, but the act of tethering is not conducive to the child’s psychological development. “The child will be tethered to ensure the safety of the child, but also to limit the child’s walking range, and leave them a strong psychological implication: the outside world is not safe. “Zhang Chun told reporters that children before the age of six or seven, the left brain is not fully developed, the memory function of the right brain will allow the child to form a memory of the status quo, thus forming a strong sense of insecurity, uncertainty and distrust of the outside world. This lack of security will also cause hindrance to the child’s future interpersonal interactions.

In addition, doctors also reminded, curtain cord, telephone lines, computer wiring, rope, etc. are common safety hazards in the home, once wrapped around the child’s neck, there is a risk of suffocation. Parents should pay more attention when taking care of their children in general.
