Children
need a safe environment where they can learn through exploring. Unfortunately,
their natural curiosity can lead them into potentially dangerous situations.
Without properly babyproofing your home, you risk serious injury to your
infant or toddler.
Consider the Facts
Household accidents involving children are four times more serious
than childhood diseases.
Every year 26 million
children are hurt accidentally.
Over one million children need emergency medical attention or hospitalization
for injuries from home accidents.
Ten thousand kids under the age of 14 die in or near their homes
each year.
More children die from HOUSEHOLD ACCIDENTS each year than from ALL childhood
diseases combined
The good news--most of these injuries are predictable and preventable.
Parents can take a proactive role in preventing household injuries by
examining their home for potentially unsafe areas using our Home
Safety Checklist and scheduling an In-home
Safety Consultation.
Negative Impact on
Parent-Child Relations
Fueled by his newly acquired mobility and independence, your child begins
to explore your home with great gusto. Soon you're both caught in an emotional
tug-of-war; him wanting to move with complete freedom throughout the house
and you needing to protect him from harm. You find yourself constantly
saying, "no"--frustrating him, exhausting you, and ultimately
detracting from family time.
Win The War of the "No"ses
Babyproofing allows you to create a safe space in your home where your
child can move about without restrictions. A few properly placed safety
devices and common sense practices gives her the freedom to explore safely,
restores your peace of mind, and returns family time to what it should
be--FUN!
