Best Ways to Make Your Home Child-Friendly
Introduction In a household, babies and
toddlers are a source of joy and happiness but they are also very prone to dayto-day, tiny to big accidents because of the household stuff lying here and there. When they walk around
and explore, they are not really aware of the dangers around them and the parents have to look after their safety at every moment. In order to keep your house safe and child-friendly,
follow the instructions given in the next slide to avoid the chances of your babies getting hurt.
Best Ways to Make Your Home ChildFriendly Stairs
On individual steps, add slip-proof matting.
To reduce injury, add a soft rubber mat on the exact spot where the stair ends on the bottom.
Teach your children stair-safety
Put a non-slip grip on the stair handles.
Electrical
outlets
Install power outlet covers if the outlet is not being used.
Cover outlets with furniture to make it difficult to reach by children.
If possible, transfer outlets higher beyond the reach of kids.
Best Ways to Make Your Home ChildFriendly Bathrooms
On the bathroom floor, place anti-slip plastic or rubber mats and if possible, change the tiles with anti-slip tiles.
Secure the soap in the tray so it does not accidentally fall off and cause an accident.
Kitchen
Make sure that the child can't open the oven and it has child safety features.
Secure utensils, crockery, knives, and sharp cutlery in high places so children can't reach it.
Cabinets, Shelves, Corners
of Tables and Posts
In case if the child climbs up on the cabinets and shelves, make sure that they are secured by the wall behind so they won't fall down.
Make sure that the corners of the tables and chairs are not sharp enough and should have cushions in case a child hits his or her head.
