The children's room is the place where children spend most of their time, so it is very important to ensure safety in this room. Not all objects are as safe as they seem at first glance.
Children may have completely different plans for them, so it is worth conducting an inspection of the room and removing potential sources of danger before an accident occurs.
1. Sharp and cutting objects
Sharp and cutting objects such as knives, scissors, needles can cause serious injuries. It is necessary to store such objects in other places.
Even if your children are keen on needlework, you shouldn't leave them alone with scissors, needles, knitting needles and a crochet hook. Especially if there are two or more of them. Fencing with knitting needles in a fun game can end badly.
2. Medicines and chemicals
Medicines and chemicals are extremely dangerous. Even if they are not dangerous for an adult, it is unknown how a child will react. Perhaps he is allergic to one of the components or he will think it is a drink and drink too much.
Particular attention should be paid to vitamins. Children like them, and adults do not see any danger in them. After all, there have been cases when children ate a handful of vitamins. And some of them, when overdosed, lead to serious illnesses and even death.
3. Items related to electricity
Electrical equipment of all kinds, such as sockets, wires, appliances and other devices, are dangerous. Stories about children inserting pins, nails and pieces of wire into sockets are not fiction. And pulling the wire is always interesting. Therefore, it is necessary to install protective covers on sockets and hide the wires to prevent access to them.
4. Dangerous toys
Some toys are dangerous for children, especially small ones. For example, they consist of small parts that are easy to swallow, inhale. Or they are made of low-quality material that causes allergies.
5. Houseplants
Most houseplants are, if not poisonous, then toxic. Their juice can cause burns on the skin or mucous membranes, lead to poisoning. And children love to taste everything.
If you want to add greenery to your nursery, plant edible herbs such as lettuce, dill, arugula, and basil. They look beautiful in a pot and won't harm your children even if they eat them all.
Keep sharp and cutting objects, medicines and chemicals out of reach of children, install protective covers on sockets and wires, choose safe toys and indoor plants. Protect your children by ensuring their safety in the room.
