According to the rules of passenger transportation, children under ten years old cannot travel on a train without an adult escort. But even if your child is already ten years old, sending him alone can be dangerous.
Instructions
Step 1
Talk to your child. If circumstances are such that there is no one to accompany him on the train, explain to him how to behave on the train. Pay special attention to the topic of security. The train can be dangerous when driving, especially when making sharp turns or braking. Be sure to tell your child not to get off at stops. Warn him not to walk on the train, or you might get lost. Remind you not to talk to unfamiliar adults.
Step 2
Buy your ticket in the middle of the train. This is the best place in terms of security. Choose a seat for your child on the bottom shelf, as if the train is rocked violently, he may fall off the top shelf. Get your child on the road. Prepare any personal hygiene items he may need, food and drink.
Step 3
Put your child on the train yourself. Be sure to explain to the guide that he is traveling alone and ask him to check from time to time if everything is fine. The conductor has a lot to do during the trip, and she simply will not keep track of all the passengers. Find another adult who can be trusted with the child during the journey and who will agree to look after him.
Step 4
Take your child to the compartment and choose the most reliable neighbor. Best of all, if it is a middle-aged woman. Ask her to look after the child, keep him in sight from time to time, and pour hot water for him so that the child does not burn himself if he asks for tea. Tell your child to obey the adult. Let him mean that if he gets confused or he needs help, you need to inform the neighbor. Ask the child's future companion to give your phone number, just in case, and give yours. Prepare a small treat or small present in advance to acknowledge your concern.
Step 5
Arrange to meet your child at the arrival point. Dictate the number of the train, the time of its arrival, the number of the carriage and the seat on which the child is traveling.
