There is, obviously, no way to absolutely childproof your home, but you can eliminate the vast majority of dangers with some simple precautions.


The very first thing you can do is get down on your hands and knees (child level) and take a good wander around the house, as you go along grab and pull at everything you can reach–you’ve just finished 90% of the job! You will amaze yourself at the possibilities for chaos and injury that will present themselves; sharp objects, sharp edges on and under furniture, forgotten items that rolled under the couch within easy reach of little hands, and of course loads of things that will break off or fall over.

Take a good look at book shelves and the TV set, can they be tipped over?

Remember when visiting someone else’s home that child safety and child watchingare your concern and nobody else’s! Keep a constant look out!
