Creating a physically safe environment involves several critical steps:
- Childproofing: Ensure that the environment is free from hazards. Secure heavy furniture, cover electrical outlets, and remove small objects that could be choking hazards. - Cleanliness: Maintain a clean environment to reduce the risk of infections. Regularly sanitize toys, surfaces, and medical equipment. - Adequate Supervision: Ensure that children are always under appropriate supervision. This helps in preventing accidents and quickly addressing any emergencies.
