How can parents ensure a safe environment for their child?
Creating a safe environment involves:
- Childproofing: Securing furniture, covering electrical outlets, and using safety gates. - Car safety: Using an appropriate car seat for the child's age and size. - Supervision: Constantly watching infants and toddlers, especially around water and during play. - Safe sleep practices: Placing infants on their backs to sleep and ensuring the crib is free of loose bedding and toys.
By addressing these aspects, parents can significantly reduce the risk of injuries and accidents.
