Home safety Tips for Young Children
In the blink of an eye, your baby will start to move around
and explore the environment. Before this happens, you have to be prepared.
Doing a safety check in every room of the house is vital, try going down to
your child’s level and viewing the world from their perspective; this will give
you a better idea of where the dangers are.
-- Make sure you know what to do in the event of an
emergency. Maybe do a first aid course and have first aid kits in the house and
car.
-- Keep emergency numbers in your phone and written down in
your home.
-- Keep poisons far out of reach and store them in a
lockable safe or cabinet.
-- Children under the age of 12 should never be left alone
in the house, even if it’s just for 5 minutes.
-- Call an electrician to come over and double check that
all the wiring is safe in your home.
-- All power points should be covered.
-- The kitchen, bathroom and other areas that could get wet
should have non-slip flooring.
-- Put corner protectors on all corners that are sharp or at
head height.
-- Ensure that all windows and external doors are suitably
barred or fixed to remove the possibility of your child falling out.
