Quick Tips from the Experts is an important part of keeping your kids safe. Unfortunately, with each new stage of your child’s development, new dangers arise on the home front that you have to guard against. It’s important to childproof each room of your house for each stage of your child’s growth . Your home can be a safe and healthy place for your child, but many dangers are easily overlooked.

•Give your house a “crawl test” to check for unseen dangers. By going from room to room yourself, you have your child’s point of view and dangerous objects are easier to spot. •Don’t call medicine “candy.” Many parents will use this tactic to get a stubborn child to take a dose, but experts say it could mislead a child to take other medicines they accidentally get their hands on. •Keep your children from seeing you unlock doors and drawers or open safety latches. They can learn from watching you. •Keep dog and cat dishes away from your child’s play area. •Keep watch for small objects in reachable distances of your child. This includes food, buttons, and other objects kids can choke on. •One study shows that parents with childproofed homes don’t need to say “no” as frequently because all dangerous objects are out of reach and children are in safe play areas.

Different Rooms to Baby Proof: Basics •Living Room: Anchor down TVs and all light or loose furniture (lamps, bookcases) that could fall, topple over, or be pulled down. •Your bedroom: Same as with living room, but also latch all drawers. •Nursery: Before using a new crib, make sure all screws are tight and that rails are no wider than 2 3/8 inches wide. •Bathroom: Latch the toilet cover and low cabinets and keep medicines and all dangerous items out of reach.
