February 7th 2010 Tips for keeping the bed room accident free
When it comes to children, it seems the chances of an accident increase 100 fold. So let’s peek at some tips to help prevent accidents at home.
1. Kid’s love to climb on stuff so it’s important that you have things anchored down really well. Book shelves and night stands are the most common thing for tipping over. If possible, you should bolt the book shelf to the wall and use a shorter and heavier night stand in the bedroom. If you have put things together yourself, such as a bed, make sure that it is really sturdy. Kids are notorious for jumping on beds and they will do it.
2. You may love your hardwood or tiled floors but these are dangers for children. They are extremely slippery when wearing slippers or if anything has spilt on them. You should buy some cheap area rugs or carpet to cover the main walking areas. I’ve even heard people putting hello kitty bedding on the floor as a cover.
These are only a couple tips you can do to keep your house safe for kids. Always be on the lookout for hazards you might have missed.
