Child safety at home

After the child began to walk, almost all parents ask themselves the question: "How to secure your home so that a curious and impetuous child can move freely around the rooms?". To answer this question, let us turn to the advice of specialists.

We recommend that you become a child for a while, and while your child still does not stop walking, go through the apartment yourself. Creep a little around the house, for this, you have to get on all fours, you can crawl in a plastunsky way. In order that you do not, you must take into account your size and size of the child.

Creeping around the room, carefully examine what you have to creep past, which surrounds you - rosettes of low-lying, sharp-angled furniture, objects on the floor that you can swallow, or items that you can drop on yourself. Explore the room several times, then write down all the potentially dangerous places and objects that you should work with.

Do not rely on the fact that you will find yourself faster and more agile. Little children often move with such speed that it is difficult to catch them. To see how fast the child moves, you can, for example, go to relatives whose child is already walking (or is still slipping).

Kitchen stove

If there is no special protective screen on the plate, then follow some rules: the pans should be rotated so that the child can not reach them; pans should be placed on the outside burners. To prevent the child from turning the handle of the cooker, they can be protected by adhesive tape or a special device. On the oven door, it is advised to put the lock. If you are in the kitchen, allow the child to go to the stove - let him satisfy his curiosity. Take the baby's handcuffs, let him see what's in the pan (not in the boiling!). Give the child a wooden leg, let it prevent food in a frying pan.

The child should know the word "hot!", The parents must teach it. To do this, you can let the child touch something hot (for example, a spoon or other utensils), the child should feel a slight discomfort, a no kick is not a pain. And remember, the skin of a child is much more tender than your skin.

Kitchen

The washing and cleaning products in the kitchen must be stored in a safe place and locked. On all drawers and floor cabinets should be blockers and / or locks (the same principle applies to all cabinets and boxes in the apartment).

Dishes that can be broken should be removed so that the child walking in the kitchen could not get it. Give up the time from glass or porcelain dishes for the child, if he wants to drink, while you are busy cooking or cleaning, give him a paper or plastic cup.

WC and bathroom

All jars and bubbles standing in the bathroom should be tightly closed and tightened. The medicine cabinet (if it is in the bathroom) should be placed so that the child can not reach it. The locker must always be closed and when a child never get medication from it-colored tablets, labels attract the interest of the child.

On the lid of your toilet, you can install a lock that the child could not open. Toilet paper can be slightly crushed in the fist, then the child will be uncomfortable to unroll and scatter around the apartment. A room that is remembered is a place where the child should not be left alone, especially if there is a water tank, even if the container is small.

Children's room

Surely everyone knows that small items or coins can not be given to small children, they can not only swallow them, but also put them in the ears / nose. It is worth noting that large toys also have small parts that a child can swallow. Therefore, regularly inspect all toys on the subject of the absence of torn handles or plastic eyes and if the toy is broken it is better to throw it out (unless of course the child is not attached to it). Teach your child to say "A-ah," while opening your mouth wide, this will help if you have a suspicion that the child has taken something in his mouth.

Other rooms

Sharp corners must be protected, electrical outlets are closed with plugs. On the doors there must be a locking device, on the windows there are devices that do not allow them to open. Remove from the windows chairs, beds and other furniture, on which the baby can climb.
