Keeping Your Home Safe for Kids
- Make sure there aren't any small objects such as buttons or coins on the floor that small children could choke on.
- Keep chemicals out of reach of children. Children don't know that they are dangerous and might drink them.
- Keep all medicines in a locked cabinet or out of reach of children. Children sometimes think that medicines are candy.
- Install fire alarms in every room in the house and train children on what to do if there's a fire.
- Cover unused electrical outlets. Children might stick a finger in the outlet and get electrocuted.
- Use safety gates to block access to the stairs. Children can fall down stairs.
- Keep young children out of the kitchen when you're cooking. They could cut themselves with a knife or burn themselves on the stove.
- Supervise children near water (pool, bathtub, etc.). Children can drown in a small amount of water.
- Keep plastic bags out of young children's reach. They could choke on the plastic.
