Relevance. Children’s safe behaviour is one of the conditions for keeping them safe and sound, healthy and socially integrated, as this is the top-priority objective of the contemporary society. Teenagers are one of the most vulnerable age groups. Th ey are frequently endangered because they show higher rates of careless behaviour. Teenagers with impaired intellectual development having this behavioural tendency cause a lot of concern in both their parents and the entire community. Objective. Th e research is aimed at studying safe behaviour in teenagers with unimpaired and impaired intelligenge. Th e research aims to defi ne peculiarities and diff erences in these teenage groups in situations that appear threatening to their lives, heath or social well-beingMethodology. Th e study involved 109 parents of teenagers aged 12–15. 46 parents are parents of children with unimpaired intellectual development (19 girls and 27 boys). 63 parents had teenage children with impaired intellectual development (35 boys and 28 girls). A questionnaire was off ered. Results. Th e researchers arranged a poll among the parents and obtained data on how safe behaviour is formed in teenagers with impaired intellectual development compared to their peers with unimpaired intelligence. Th e fi ndings show diff erence in behavioural patterns of teenagers with impaired and unimpaired intelligence in such situations as crossing a street, handling electric appliances and sharp cutting tools, acting during outdoor leisure and using gadgets. Additionally, the study defi ned gender diff erences in teenage boys’ and girls’ behavioural patterns when facing dangerous dogs, arguing or fi ghting and even during outdoor leisure. Conclusions.
