What are some specific childproofing tips for different rooms?
Each room in the house presents unique risks:
- Kitchen: Use stove guards to prevent burns, and store knives and other sharp objects in locked drawers. Keep cleaning supplies out of reach. - Bathroom: Use non-slip mats to prevent falls. Store medications in locked cabinets and keep the toilet lid closed. - Living room: Anchor heavy furniture and secure TVs. Use socket covers and keep small decorative items out of reach. - Bedroom: Ensure the crib meets current safety standards. Keep cords from blinds and curtains out of reach to prevent strangulation.
