Just as your baby grows into new stages of development, you must adapt the ways you prepare your home to best protect your child and keep him safe. Here are few tips to help keep your little kid safe at home:Burn Prevention for Little Kids At HomeFire is just one cause of burn injuries — children can also be seriously injured by hot liquids, heating appliances, hot pots and pans, electrical currents and chemicals. Little kids are also at risk around steam irons, curling irons and space heaters. Curb their curiosity by eliminating hazards in the home. Choking, Suffocation and Strangulation Prevention for Little Kids At HomeLike babies, little kids are very curious about the things around them and will touch, taste and smell just about anything. Keep your child safe from things that could choke, suffocate and strangle her by making home and play areas safe and free of hazards. Drowning Prevention for Little Kids At HomeIt only takes about an inch of water and a few seconds for a small child to drown. As your baby starts walking, he may find water exciting. Lack of mobility and coordination puts him at risk from falling into water. From toilets and bathtubs to buckets of water, little kids can be at great risk for drowning. Falls Prevention for Little Kids At HomeYoung children are still developing mobility and coordination and can be prone to injuries caused by falls. Head injuries are associated with most deaths and severe injuries resulting from falls. Make sure the area around little kids is safe to toddle, tippy toe and topple. Fire Prevention for Little Kids At HomeChildren ages 5 and under are more than twice as likely to die in a fire as the rest of the population. Often young children are afraid of fire and not sure how to escape safely. Knowing how to safeguard your house against fires and teaching children what to do if there is a fire can keep everyone safe. Poison Prevention for Little Kids At HomeLittle hands can lead to big trouble. As your baby begins toddling around the house, toxic substances in drawers and cabinets are within reach. Children at this age will also begin to imitate others' behaviors, so it's important to model safety first. |
