But those little bulbs can be a danger to a child. The time of the year is almost upon us when we need to use extra precautions in ensuring the safety of our homes. Young children are unaware of dangers surrounding them. It is the responsibility of the parent to protect little ones. Iowa State University Extension offers several tips on home safety.
Babies are curious about everything.
They explore by climbing, touching and pulling things down that they are not tall enough to see. Help prevent those little people from getting hurt by keeping holiday tree lights, lamps that can tip over, uncovered electrical outlets and matches out of their reach. A parent should watch out for hazards all around the home. Parents have learned from experience where dangers are. Young children have not had this experience.
