A safe home is a happy home. Unfortunately, not all new homes are safe for your children when you first move in and safety should be a priority for you. When you and your little ones are at home, you should want to be able to feel confident and at ease so that you can save them from experiencing painful accidents.
You need to find out what the safety risks in your home, so that you can prevent them and get them out of your home. You have to keep your eyes and ears open to things that your child may be getting into, especially when they are able to walk, climb, reach things and to simply explore.
Falls are the most common type of injury at each age group. Remember, children aren’t really the best at keeping themselves vertical – they’re always losing their balance, slipping on things, tripping on things and more. However, there are ways that you can help to prevent fall from happening in your new home. We’ll show you:
- You should install safety guards to block the entries to stairs and balconies, but still ensure that you supervise them when they’re on stairs and balconies.
- You need to keep your windows locked, especially at the upper storey, so that the kids don’t fall out.
- You should make use of a low-power night light and a torch to help you see you children better at night.
- You should leave a hall light on at night, so that your children can safely make their way through the house at night.
