ou have toddlers and young children and they are in the walking stage, it can be very easy for them to get into things that they should not be getting into. However, in spite of that, there are ways that parents can prevent their children from getting in harm’s way.

Toddlers and young children are naturally curious. Something would be wrong with them if they weren’t. One thing that they like to do is open cabinet doors and look inside. They will go so far as to take things out, not knowing the dangers that await them.

Since they are only of a certain size, they will try to open the cabinets that are closest to the floor. For this reason, child safety cabinet latches are needed to keep them out of harm’s way.

Since children like to get to things that are within their height and reach, another thing that should be covered up are electrical outlets. It’s easy for them to stick their tiny fingers in the holes and possibly get injured or even worse, electrocuted.

The wires and other items inside those outlets are live and if they are tampered with, it can cause some serious consequences. Using outlet safety plugs can help keep your child’s sticky and curious fingers away from danger.

Since a child’s body is still delicate, when they bump into things, such as sharp corners, it can hurt them. Just think about how much pain adults feel when they bump into a sharp corner. For toddlers and small children, it can be twice as painful. Using safety corner bumpers can help them not to feel that excruciating pain as they cut around the corner and hit that pointed area.

Using doorknob grips can prevent your toddler or young child from going into rooms that they should not be in. Rooms such as entry to a basement or a bedroom should be off limits. Those are rooms that should be kept under lock and key.

Using doorknob grips can help to keep them from entering. This will prevent them from going into dangerous territory or experiencing serious injury.

It’s important that you child-proof your home as much as possible. The more you set up barriers and precautions, the better chance you have of your child being safe. You won’t have to concern yourself about your child getting hurt or seriously injured. You will have made your home a safe haven for them. With a child care safety kit, you will be the better parent for that.

Captain Kid asked:


Outside the box, I should have clarified my answer more, but think about it, even if child safety seats were brought on:
1) they are not allowed
2) they wouldnt be compatible with an airplane seat, as opposed to a car seat

I really dont care on the subject, but its interesting, because I thought there was some flight safety issue or other scientific explanation.

Safety Starts At Home

Although we don’t like to think about it, accidental injury can occur as a result from many sources from road traffic accidents, falls, poisoning, drowning and fires. They can occur in the home, on the roads, in the workplace and in a variety of outdoor locations. Accidental death from overdose, poisoning, fire and weapon discharge could all be avoided if simple guidelines are followed such as having syrup of ipecac and the poison control center phone number always available nearby, just in case. Accidents around the home each year injure millions of children—a number of accidents result in death. Taking a few simple steps to childproof a home could prevent most of these accidents.

Outlet covers and outlet plates can help protect children from electrical shock and possible electrocution. Be sure the outlet protectors cannot be easily removed by children and are large enough so that children cannot choke on them. Outlet face covers are another option for you to consider. These covers have faces that swivel or slide over the outlet holes, requiring you to push the cover away while inserting the plug for a secure fit. Outlet plug covers can keep small fingers from getting electrocuted. Since window screens can be removed or broken easily they are not adequate to prevent falls. Toddlers are also different from older kids because they understand and follow directions far less though they’re very mobile .even the ones who haven’t quite put one foot in front of the other. That’s why toddlers get their own special child safety section. Toddlers are more curious and mobile than babies are. They are almost fearless and can get involved in dangerous situations easily. Toddlers are known to stick things into plug points in the wall. Safety outlet plugs are plastic covers that fit into empty plug points thus preventing children from placing any objects into these electrical outlets. Kidco child safety products, including baby safety gates and household child safety products, are award winning and preferred by parents. Kidsafe WA developed the Home Safety Community Action Kit as a guide to assist Health Professionals to provide consistent child safety message to parents and carers of children less than 5 years of age. It also has information to assist community health staff with coordinating workshops, presentations and running community activities. Check that everything is within child safety level. Yes, child house proofing can be tedious. Check the label every time you give medication. This will help you to be sure you are giving the right medication in the right amounts. Fire retardant, non-toxic and latex-free. Fire safety depends on early warning and planning for an emergency. If you haven’t yet mapped out fire escape routes from every room of your home, do it now. Babies can drown in even a few inches of water – It is essential that you never leave a baby unattended in a bathroom. Babies spend a lot of time in their cribs. The crib should have a label showing that its construction is safe and approved. Babies and toddlers put everything in their mouths – including leaves, flowers, plants, soil, grass . This is usually no more than a nuisance requiring constant supervision, but do check the garden over before letting your baby out to play.

Child proofing your home to prevent and eliminate chances of injuries or mishaps is extremely important. These are proven ways to keep your children safe within your home. Child proofing your home is something that is very important to protect your child from having a serious injury.

Make your home safe for your children’s sake.

Queen T-Shel asked:


I have over heard and have been told that pets had more rights than children at one point in time. That the child safety laws where only changed after someone pointed out that they
were tuffer on pet abuse then child abuse. So is it true that pet laws helped start some of the child abuse/neglect laws of today?

Bryan J Buckner asked:


I’m sure you’ve heard the recent stories of child abductions. In some cases the children are held hostage and sexually abused over time. In the high profile story of Jaycee Dugard, she was abducted is 1991 and held hostage in the home of her abductor for over a decade. She was forced to be a sex slave which resulted in the birth of two children.

Then there was young Haleigh Cummings, the five year old supposedly was taken from her bed in the middle of the night while sleeping in the same room with a seventeen year old caretaker. Most recently, the body of Somer Thompson was found discarded like a piece of trash in a landfill about 50 miles from her home. The young seven year old was abducted while walking home from school. Her killer is still at large.

These are the most disturbing of violent crimes as they target our innocent youth. Tragic, disturbing, sickening and outrage would be a few of the words used to describe the feelings of most parents towards a person capable of taking a child, raping them, assaulting them and killing them. Even more disturbing is that the threat of child abduction is very real and the prevalence is increasing at startling rates.

It is up to us, parents, guardians, and caretakers, to ensure the safety, self defense, security and well being of our children. Providing a safe haven for our children is our responsibility, as a result we all need to start today with a plan to accomplish this. I encourage you to consider teaching your children the following safety rules. Your kids should be able to answer yes to each of these questions.

I always check first with my parents or the person in charge before I go anywhere or get into a car, even with someone I know. Simple, basic, easy to teach and learn, but absolutely crucial that your child understands this. If you think your youngster understands rule number one then test them. Have a family friend attempt pick them up from school, or try to take them to the game room at the mall or maybe for some candy. Many of you will be shocked to find out how easy it is to get your child into someone’s car without your knowledge. This is not a time to get angry and scold or discipline your kids. Instead, use that time and energy to communicate effectively with your children, then practice over and over and over again. I always check first with my parents or a trusted adult before I accept anything from anyone, even from someone I know. Same is true here. Child abductors will often attempt to gain the trust and acceptance of your youth by buying gifts for them. Over time the hope is that they will become a trusted friend and this is when tragedy can strike. I always take a friend with me when I go places or play outside. The “buddy system” is a very good idea and both children should understand the importance of mastering these safety rules. I know my name, address, telephone number, and my parents’ names. Can your kids recite there full name, phone number and parents’ names. I say no if someone tries to touch me or treat me in a way that makes me feel scared, uncomfortable, or confused. Children need to know that it is ok to say NO to an adult or anyone if things don’t feel right. I know that I can tell my parents or a trusted adult if I feel scared, uncomfortable, or confused. It’s OK to say no, and I know that there will always be someone who can help me. I am strong, smart, and have the right to be safe.

To summarize:

CHECK FIRST TAKE A FRIEND TELL SOMEONE I TRUST IF SOMETHING IS WRONG

These are simple safety rules. Use them today to begin the process of educating your youngster against the dangers present in society.

STAY STRONG, SMART, AND SAFE

As the father of a young girl, it is priority number one to make sure she is always safe with or without me. I can’t be with her 24/7, though I wish I could. What I can do is provide her with the awareness needed to deter and hopefully prevent any crime against her. Encourage your friends and neighbors with children to get involved. It is time for us as parents to step up and provide the security and safe haven our kids depend on.
