You often hear about new parents “child proofing” a house. They have safety latches for door knobs, oven doors, toilet lids, kitchen drawers and cabinets. There are electric outlet covers, safety gates, drapery cords hung high, and knives, matches, chemicals, and medications all locked safely away. There’s a lot parents can do to make their homes safer for their children.
The problem is, with the term children, at least in the context of “child proofing,” we often only mean babies and toddlers. What about when our kids are not only walking, but old enough to be talking and learning too?
Here are some tips that go beyond the measures you take to protect your children and venture into the realm of educating your children to help protect themselves.
Of course everything depends on communication and how mature your children are. If you find yourself constantly removing that nighttime glass of water from the top of the cable TV box and your constant reminders go unheeded there should be repercussions. And that’s okay. You’re just trying to keep your kids safe.
