Question: What is the best way to child-proof my home?
Answer: Child-proofing you home for a little one can be a arduous task. Pretty much anything that looks shiny, is a liquid or that can be ingested or chewed on needs to put out of the reach of curious toddlers. You may want to start with these easy tips:
- Cover all outlets. This will help prevent little ones from sticking things into the sockets. You
may opt for plastic outlet covers or you can purchase a outlet cover faceplate to keep from destroying your fingernails when you attend to pry the plastic covers off!
- Make sure all toxic liquids and chemicals are locked safely behind cabinet doors. You can use cabinet and appliance locks for this.
- Don't let your toddler dive face first into a bowl of germs! Get toilet cover locks to keep your curious child out of the bowl!
- Sharp table edges can seriously harm a small child, especially when they start to realize they can run--fast! Cover these corners with plastic corner cushions. This way, if your child runs into them, they will just bounce off.
