I use outlet protectors and door knob protectors for my boys..thanks simms3710@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteoutlet covers and i watch them!!
ReplyDeleteSupervision! And putting things out of reach.
ReplyDeleteuse child proofing.
ReplyDeleteGet down to baby level and move around the house after you think you have everything secure. Things look different at baby level and you can often find more items that need secured or removed. Even the underside of furniture can be more dangerous than you think, they can have sharp edges on the underside!
ReplyDeleteThanks!

One of the best ones for us was the cabinet locking locks. (some were so good that they kept us out!)
ReplyDeleteWater, no matter how shallow, and small, unsupervised children don't mix.
ReplyDeleteMy best tip is to keep your eyes on the kids at all times.
ReplyDeletecabinet locks
ReplyDeleteWe use doorknob covers and child safety gate as well to keep them safe!
ReplyDeleteMy best child safety tip: Child-proof everything and always over-estimate your child's ability to reach or touch things that might not be safe: scissors, glass items, breakable things.

I always made sure to turn handles in while cooking so a child can't grab something hot and/or spill it on themselves.
ReplyDeleteAlso for emotional/spiritual safety,.I use parental controls on tv and computer!
Don't talk to strangers!
ReplyDeleteSecure all the furniture! I try to house-proof my children for times when we visit homes that aren't child-proof.
ReplyDeletesafety gates
ReplyDeletesecure tv's so they don't fall on kids
ReplyDeleteGet on your hands and knees and childproof everything from that point of view. Babygates are a must in our house due to steep steps.
ReplyDeletemake sure that all outlets are covered!
ReplyDeleteget down on all fours and crawl around to see what they see at that level. Cover or move anything that is dangerous
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to secure your garbage containers, little one's are notorious for depositing found things in them. My experience, car keys.
ReplyDeleteStart explaining "WHY" something is not safe early and often, even if you think they are too young.
ReplyDeleteoutlet protectors for sure.
ReplyDeleteSecure bookshelves! My boys are climbers!
