There are many things which you must keep out of
children’s reach. These are medicines, household chemicals, lighters, sharp and
pointed utensils and breakable objects among others. Children do not know any
better. They will put in their mouths anything their hands find to grab.
Toddlers can easily walk out the house, up the
staircases and down to the basements. Install safety gates by the doorways, the
staircases and other accident prone areas in the house. Choose safety gates
that are up-to-date. In the bathroom, place anti-slip rugs on the floor. Wet
tiles can be very slippery. Eliminate standing water in pails, tubs and other
containers which can cause drowning. Purchase lid locks for your toilet bowls. These
will prevent kids from playing with the water in the toilet bowl.
Injuries like bumps on the head and bruises may
result from hitting the edges of furniture. Use foam covers to make these edges
less harmful. Do you own a swimming pool? To keep your child from drowning, use
strap down covers which are more secure. Lastly, anchor down large pieces of
furniture like cabinets, dressers and desks. Anchor straps stop these huge
items from totally flipping over in case your children try to pull them.
