They have no boundaries so that makes them easier to get wounded.
Young kids from 1 to 2 years old have the most probability of getting injured.
To avoid that, anyone who take cares the babies and toddlers like parents, child care providers, babysitters and any caregivers may feel exhausted in paying full attention to whatever they do and touch, wherever they are, whenever they get hungry, tired, bored, sleepy, etc.
If I may say, they probably should always keep awake and be ready for any possibility which might happen.
To lessen your burden in accordance with toddler's safety at playtime, outside and inside the house, here are some tips you may consider to do: In the Bathroom Toddlers love water wherever it is.
So put the toilet lid down when it not in use.
It is also a way to avoid calling a plumber.
You can limit the way to the bathroom or just close it whenever it is unused.
Put the medication out of reach and always drain the bathtub after use.
Even plungers can be fun for toddlers, so never leave them without supervision.
In the Bedroom On one hand, pictures, area rugs, flowing curtains or drapes, lamps and candles are parts of decoration to raise our mood but on the other hand, they can be dangerous for toddlers.
Table cloth with a table lamp on it can attract your toddlers' attention.
They like the light and they attempt to grab them.
They may drag a chair and stand on it then try to reach the lamp and this might change to disaster.
So, be sure you set the bedroom toddler proof.
In the Family Room Always be conscious of tiny objects and toys which could be choking hazard, like pieces of toys (wheels, button, batteries, etc) and coins.
Secure any access to up or down stairs.
Provide outlet covers and keep electrical cords out of reach.
If you use a carpet, make sure that there is no wrinkle or rolled part.
In the Kitchen Toddlers enjoy joining us in the kitchen when we dish or cook.
They try to be like us, watch and do what we do there.
To make it safe, turn the handles of wok / pot / kettle / pan away so those will be out of toddlers' reach.
Further, you may use unbreakable and spill-proof travel mugs as you drink hot beverages.
One last thing to keep in mind is never leave any unused electric items plugged and place the cords out of toddlers' reach.
In the Car Ensure that your toddlers' car seats are appropriate to safety regulations and installed appropriately.
Put a booster seat for weight and height factors.
To avoid your toddlers open the window or door, you need to make the child locks active.
In the Yard Garden, kiddy pools, swing sets, play yard are wonderful, but always put boundary marker in ponds / pools between house and any water source.
Leave the pools dry when unused.
