Recently, some netizens posted that a kindergarten held a fruit platter competition, requiring children to bring their own fruits, and the type of fruit was determined by lottery, and a child drew durian, which made parents very embarrassed, because durian is relatively expensive, and they are usually reluctant to eat it, let alone prepare more than one portion, and the cost of the activity arrangement makes her feel a little unbearable. The parent asked the teacher directly for leave, saying that the child would not participate in the event.

In this regard, many netizens called it outrageous, thinking that the fruit ** required to be bought in the kindergarten is too high and the number of servings is too high, and it is normal for parents to refuse for excessive consumer expenditure.

Some netizens expressed concern about the safety of their own food, believing that the quality of their own food is difficult to guarantee, and there is a risk of children's food allergies.

The reporter of the rule of law network searched and found that this kind of kindergarten activities are carried out in various places, especially on the occasion of the festival, in addition to fruit sharing, dim sum sharing, and lottery requirements to bring their own hot pot ingredients and other forms of activities. For example, on the winter solstice not long ago, many kindergartens launched related activities such as the "Winter Solstice Hot Pot Banquet".

According to parents, generally speaking, as long as the school holds similar activities, they will choose to actively participate, on the one hand, they can let their children learn to share and be grateful, and enhance the interaction with their children. On the other hand, it also helps children to participate in group activities. However, some parents bluntly said that the experience of the activity was not good, and the food they were asked to prepare increased the family's expenses, but their children were not reasonably distributed in the activity, and it was difficult to judge the food safety and quality.

A front-line worker in preschool education told a reporter from the rule of law network that kindergartens do hold different themed activities to help children cultivate the spirit of sharing and cooperation, but they are generally very cautious about food sharing. Normally, the food that children eat is prepared by the school, and they are not allowed to bring their own food. However, the level of education and risk prevention awareness of kindergartens and teachers are uneven, and although the original intention of such activities is good, there are situations where the notice is not in place and the arrangement is unreasonable, so it has caused dissatisfaction among parents. She proposed that kindergartens focus on childcare and education, and food safety is the top priority. For safety reasons, fruits and food should not be brought by parents to share with other children, and should be prepared by the park itself or changed to other forms of sharing activities. If you need to carry out this kind of activity, you should communicate with parents in advance, adhere to the concept of eliminating waste, relatively fair and reasonable to arrange activities, and "cooperate" with parents, and parents should also communicate their concerns with the kindergarten in a timely manner to avoid misunderstandings.
It is unreasonable to specify ingredients and make them mandatory for parents to carry. If the school organizes such activities, parents have the right to refuse to participate or boycott participation. Zhu Qimin, a member of the lawyer expert database of "Rule of Law**" and a partner of Beijing Hankun Law Firm, said that the designation of bringing your own food may lead to personal injury consequences such as food allergies, food poisoning, trauma, and tracheal foreign body suffocation in young children, and the worries and concerns of parents and netizens are not unreasonable. According to Article 1199 of the Civil Code, if a person without civil capacity suffers personal injury during the kindergarten, the kindergarten shall bear tort liability;Those who can prove that they have fulfilled their educational and management duties shall not bear tort liability. If the kindergarten is mandatory to bring their own ingredients into the kindergarten to participate in the activities, it may constitute a negligence in the performance of the duty of care of education management, once the above-mentioned personal injury occurs, the kindergarten needs to bear tort liability and in accordance with Article 1179 of the Civil Code to compensate for medical expenses, nutrition expenses, nursing expenses, transportation expenses and other reasonable expenses for ** and **. At the same time, if the parent who provided the problematic ingredients is at fault for the damage, they may also face tort damages. Therefore, in order to eliminate potential safety hazards, it is recommended that kindergartens cancel activities that require them to bring their own food into the kindergarten as much as possible.
