According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, about 2.5 million children are injured or killed every year by preventable dangers in their own homes. This statistic illustrates the importance of childproofing your home. Even if it seems unnecessary, taking a few simple steps to install childproof basics can prevent an unfortunate accident. As your baby grows, you'll find that they are able to get into much more trouble around the home, causing you to constantly improve your childproofing methods.
First, check the basic home security measures that you should already be taking, even without a young child in the home. Have working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, and an emergency plan. Make sure the windows and doors lock and are protected by alarms. These simple steps are necessary to protect the whole family, not just small children, from harm.
Now, consider the vantage point of a small child. You may be surprised at the dangers that exist near the floor. Sharp furniture corners, cords, and outlets may not even be noticed from an adult's height, but they pose a serious danger to toddlers. Secure all cords and other reachable items, and pad any sharp furniture corners, especially as your child learns to walk. Plastic covers are available to protect electrical outlets; these keep the outlets available when an adult needs to use them, while preventing a child from accidentally inserting a metal object into them.
The areas most often in need of childproofing are the kitchen and bathroom. These are usually the rooms where chemicals and cleaning supplies are stored. Keep these products out of your child's reach, and protect all cabinets with child-safe locks. It is amazing how quickly a child can open a drawer or cupboard that is not locked. Even basic foods can be dangerous to young children, who may choke on foods that seem innocuous. Don't forget to protect children from the dangers of your stove and refrigerator. There are many gadgets designed to childproof specific areas or appliances in your home.
Baby gates and other childproofing supplies should be used to block off unsafe areas, such as stairways. A gate can also be used on a temporary basis to keep children out of rooms that have not been childproofed. Be aware of places in your home that may be more dangerous than others. For example, keep young children away from a fireplace, or a workbench containing sharp tools, by blocking the area with child gates. If you have a pool, protect it with a pool alarm and a gate so that no one accidentally falls in.
Being a parent is stressful, and it may seem like there is no end to your childproofing activities. Childproofing your home is a constant behavior, even if you install all of the childproofing gadgets you can find. It means being careful where you store sharp scissors, turning the handles of pots inward while cooking, and in general being aware of where your child is playing and what dangers exist. Still, childproofing gadgets are essential in order to prevent accidents in the home.
