In this article, Aqarmap will provide you with some tips to protect your child at home, as children always have a curiosity and a desire to discover things around them. Once they learn to walk, they keep coming and going from room to room inside the house in an attempt to explore its parts, which of course put them at risk. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare the house in a safe way, so that the child doesn’t suffer any kind of harm.
Prepare your house in order to protect children
Secure the doors of each room
A cylindrical piece of sponge or plastic should be placed around the room doors, so that the child can’t close the door on one of his fingers.
Secure the stove and kitchen cabinets
During using your stove, it may have a great risk on your children, if he/she tries to get there, and if there are some utensils, it may fall on him/her and harm the child.
The child may also misuse the stove buttons and expose himself and the entire house to gas leaks, and the risk of suffocation.
As for the kitchen cabinets, it contains many devices and unsafe items for the child, therefore, we should buy safety locks for cabinets and drawers, and to permanently remove the child from the stove.
It is recommended not to leave the child in the kitchen alone without supervision at this early age, in addition, to close the refrigerator doors with the same safety locks used for the cabinets.
Stairs inside the house
Using child safety gates will help you a lot to prevent the risk of sliding down the stairs, when your child tries to descend down on his own, while he is still not ready to do it alone.
Electric socket
Electrical plugs must be placed in all rooms of the house, so that the child cannot put his hand or insert something inside it.
Sharp parts of the furniture
Many furniture, such as dining tables and some types of chairs, have sharp edges that may hurt children when playing or moving alongside them, so it is necessary to put rubber protection parts on each tip of that edge.
Thus, we have been able to prepare our house in some kind of a way to protect our children from any dangers they may be exposed to, so that the house becomes a safe environment for the child in which he can move freely to discover what is around and grow safely.
