If you’re a parent, you know all too well the kind of trouble your children can get themselves into, and you are undoubtedly concerned with ways to keep your home as safe as possible for your family. Of course, there is no substitute for supervision. However, many practical things can be done around your home that can help to keep your small children safe.
Of course, there is an entire industry related to “child-proofing” a home. There are many latches, gates, covers, and locks that can be purchased for hazardous areas like stairs, kitchen cabinets, sharp corners, electrical outlets, and cords. Generally, it’s recommended to pay special attention to drowning hazards, fire hazards, electrical hazards, and strangulation or suffocation hazards.
Essentially, one of the most important steps in properly preparing your home for the curiosity and mischief of a very small child is to take a detailed look around your home, and look for potential hazards.
