Accident prevention
Keeping your child safe from accidents
Small children are at more risk than others of accidents because
they do not yet understand the reality of the things around them.
For example, a child who is at risk of
falling from the balcony or
from a chair does not yet know about gravity and weight; a child
who is at risk of poisoning does not know the harmful effects of
what he is putting in his mouth.
Unfortunately, accidents involving children
are very common as a
result of parents not making the home safe and not taking
necessary safety precautions to reduce or prevent accidents to
their children.
From the time the child is able to crawl or walk,
he has a love of
exploring and he will play with everything he finds without
realizing the danger of the thing he is playing with.
Hence the parents have to provide a safe environment for their
children. I shall explain below some of the measures that need to
be taken in order to prevent accidents.
Prevention of poisoning
Many hospital emergency rooms see various cases of poisoning in
children, and that is usually because safety measures have not
been taken in the home.
