The world completely changes when one is blessed with a child. This infant becomes the center of attraction of your life, and you try to do the best to protect your bundle of joy and give him/her the best life. Every parent wants to make their house paradise for their child. We appreciate the personal parental care and supervision towards making their child happy and safe.

The Look Inside the House

Your baby deserves to have an ambient atmosphere in the house. To give your baby a healthy life, try to decorate the room with some nice colors. Toddlers have a fascination with beautiful colors. Take care that the colors are not too bright as that may affect the eyes of the child. Try to keep some green plants or some artificial plants and trees or some floral arrangements in the room to make the environment soothing. Also, the green color is good for eyes, as said by many eye specialists.

Take Care of the Crib

The crib, which happens to be the first bed for your newborn must be bought with some care. Parents should take care that the space between the bars of the crib should not be more that 3 inches to prevent slipping of the child. There should not be any corner points or sharp edges in the crib. Also, the crib should be spacious enough for your baby to have a relaxed sleep.

Chemicals and Medicine Should Be Taken Care

It is very commonly observed in every household that the tiny toddlers have the habit of putting everything in their mouth. In this respect, parents should take special care that the medicines and chemicals should be kept away from the reach of the child. This is very important as many accidents have been reported in the past due to this reason.

Living Room and Your Bedroom

A child when grows up has the never-ending fascination of exploring every nooks and corner of the house. Take special care to keep the drawers and cabinets closed as the child may try to open them and in turn, may get hurt. If your furniture has sharp corners, try to mend them. These are direct sources of injuries to the child.

Hot Drinks Should Be Taken with Care

When you are in the house, take care while taking hot drinks like tea, coffee, soups, etc near the child. Children have the habit of moving their hands and feet randomly. You should be careful that you are not consuming any of these things very close to the child. Your child may get burns if the unfortunate happens and the drink spills. Children have very delicate skin which cannot withstand these temperatures.

A Kitchen Is a Dangerous Place

When your child starts crawling on knees and tries to explore the house, a fascinating place is a kitchen. With many appliances and interesting sounds from them, your child may easily get drawn to this place. Parents should be cautious about keeping wires away from the hands of the toddlers. The kettles, appliances, microwave oven, etc should be kept at a safe distance from the child as these may cause some serious injuries and burns.

Water Is Lovely, but the Bathroom Is Not

Children love to play with water. However, parental presence is strongly advised while your child is taking a bath. It takes just about 4 inches of water in the tub for the unfortunate to happen. This can only be prevented when the parent is personally given a bath to their newborn.

Electric Sockets Are Dangerous

Children have the habit of putting their fingers in any opening they come across. As they start crawling on their knees and begin to explore the house, the most commonly available openings are the electric sockets. It is the responsibility of parents to ensure that all the switches are off and the socket openings are closed with plastic covers. We need not say the outcome if these points are not followed.

A Tablecloth Should Be Tightly Fastened

Children have this peculiar habit of pulling any piece of cloth they see. The most vulnerable in this is the table cloth. Ensure that you keep table cloth fastened to the table all the time. As the table is stuffed with many articles of your use, pulling the table cloth may seriously injure your little guy.

Windows and Balcony Needs Special Care

As we have already said that the world completely changes when one is blessed with a child. Children try to climb the windows and balcony during their growing up phase. Parents should install grills on the windows and balconies to avoid any unforeseen circumstances. The inquisitiveness of the child cannot be controlled, but proper care can be taken.

Stairs Are Not So Safe

This is especially for children who have just started to crawl on their knees. Parental care is expected when the child is near the stairs. Children often topple on the stairs resulting in some bad injuries. Of course, you do not want to see your little child in pain!

Mattresses and Carpets

If you are really into interior decoration and have mattresses and carpets in your house, we advise you to be a bit cautious with this. Toddlers like to roll on the carpets. This may sound cute but it may result in the suffocation of your child.

Lastly, Personal Parental Attention to the Child

This is perhaps the most important point of the story and contains all the points mentioned above. There is no substitute for personal guidance, love, affection, and care of the parent. The home can become the safest place on the earth for your child if he/she gets the right attention from the parents. This will also help in creating the deep bonding of the child with the parent.
