An important fact to remember is that the danger of accidents is always greater at times of stress or when we are in a hurry. Accidents are more likely to happen at such times. It is important to remember that our world is primarily designed by adults for adults. Nobody wants to hurt a child but forgetting the special needs of children does make the world a little unsafe for them. Often when accidents involve children, the consequences are serious causing much pain and stress.
Home ought to be an epitome of safety.
But more often than not a household has several pitfalls and any of the several harmless items of daily use, can prove to be deadly, if not used and stored properly. In our pursuit for better living we set up several death traps in our homes. We tend to ignore the unsafe conditions and unsafe acts leading to tragedies. Very young children or toddlers are at a great risk in the designed for adults world. Toddlers by nature are curious and tend to put anything and everything in close proximity into their mouth.
