Your Home Accidents, not illnesses, cause over 400 preventable deaths in children under the age of four each month. One of the most important steps you can take to prevent such accidents is to childproof your home. Never underestimate the powers of a child.
Children are very curious and love to investigate their environment.
The best way to find the dangers your child might encounter is to get a baby s view of the environment. Get down on your hands and knees and examine everything carefully, crawling from room to room. It is a whole new world down there with fun things to pull on and chew, sharp corners to hit your head on, and, yes, those open electrical outlets. Look for loose wires that might entangle your child and the potential of breakable items to fall and harm your child. Your position as a parent is to make your home a safe and fun place to explore.
