Child Safety Tips for the Home
Keeping children safe at home involves identifying potential hazards and taking steps to minimize risks. Here are practical safety tips for helping to keep your children safe:
Childproofing
Identify the areas in and around your home where unintentional injuries or deaths are most likely to occur. Take proactive steps to childproof your space, considering not only toddlers but children of all ages. Create a comprehensive home safety plan and practice emergency escape routes with your family. Remember, a little prevention can go a long way in ensuring safety.
Lead Poisoning
Millions of children are exposed to dangerous levels of lead every day. Kids under 6 years old are particularly at risk, as their developing bodies absorb lead more easily, and their brains and nervous systems are especially vulnerable to its harmful effects. Learn about potential sources of lead exposure and take steps to prevent lead poisoning in your home and community.
Risks of Button Batteries
Young children often explore their world by putting objects in their mouths, which can pose serious dangers. Seemingly harmless items, like remote controls or car door openers, may contain button batteries. If swallowed, these batteries can cause severe injury or even death. Be aware of these hidden hazards, and ensure such items are kept out of children’s reach.

Child Passenger Safety
Car crashes are the leading cause of death for children and young adults aged 1 to 24. Ensuring kids are properly secured in car seats, booster seats, or seat belts significantly increases their safety in the event of a crash. The National Safety Council (NSC) provides valuable resources and guidance to help parents and caregivers protect their children on the road.
Water Safety
While many understand the importance of safety around pools and beaches, it’s equally crucial to supervise children near bathtubs. Most drowning or near-drowning incidents occur when a child falls into a pool or is left unsupervised in the tub. Distractions can lead to tragedy, especially for younger children who face the highest risk. Constant vigilance is key to preventing these accidents.
