The best way to find potential
problems within your home is to see your home as your child does. Get down on
your hands and knees and crawl around.
Make a list of all the potential problems you expose your child.
At this level, you will see electrical
outlets, cords for televisions or lamps, small fringe or other small items on
tables that can be picked up, thrown or put in their mouths. Look for corners
on tables or other surfaces that are sharp.

Safety Latches:
Perhaps you have drawers and cabinets that
baby can get into. It is important to keep these locked so that your child
can't get into them and access poisonous chemicals and medications.

Latches are available that can be attached to
these cabinets (with minimal if any damage to the cabinet itself) You will want to buy latches that are durable
can handle the pulls that your child is likely to do to them.
Still, many of these products are
very easy to install and easy to use.
Corner Protection:
As you crawled around you may have
bumped into the corners of tables and chairs along the way.
Either remove those with a point from the area
or they should have a corner bumper installed on them.
These will soften the edge and allow
the child to bump into them with little or no effect. Most are widely available for just a few
dollars. Choose bumpers that stay
snuggly in place.
Outlet Covers:
One of the most effective ways to prevent baby
from being hurt is with outlet covers. A
package of 20 or more can cost just a few dollars.
These plastic covers are in the sockets
throughout your home, keeping fingers out of the outlet. Parents can easily remove them and replace
them when the outlet is in use.

Safety Gates:
Older models of safety gates were hard to put
in place and often were cumbersome to deal with. Newer models make getting through them must
faster and safer. Protecting baby from stairs and areas of the home that are
too dangerous is one of the best ways to child proof your home. These gates are
available in a range of sizes and styles to accommodate virtually any home's
design.
There are many other things to add
to your home to child proof it. You may wish to add locks to doors to rooms
where you do not want your toddler to venture.
Every home should have carbon monoxide
detectors and smoke alarms installed in them.
Be sure to secure all items on tables safely or otherwise remove cords
that could cause an item to fall on the child.
There's a lot to do but by making a
few simple changes to your home you will successfully protect your child from
all the problems that usually affect children.
Since thousands of children end up in the
hospital each year due to injuries or poisonings at their home, don't overlook
the safety in child proofing.
