More Injuries, Deaths Occur in Home To Young Children than Anywhere Else
Parents Must Anticipate Where More than 2,800 young children die in home accidents annually, and more than four million youngsters are injured in the home each year, resulting in 70,000 hospitalizations, a Public Health Research report reveals. Among the top five leading causes of home injury deaths among children include such things as choking/suffocation, poisoning and burns, the Home Safety Council points out. These three causes are generally preventable by careful planning and “accident-proofing” your home. How do parents “accident-proof” a home? Basically, adult habits have to change drastically when a young child enters a family and reaches the crawling age. Parents have to step back a distance and appraise every inch of every room and imagine “what could happen if our little one could reach this?” And then do something about it. Admittedly, no planning is 100% guaranteed, but you can utilize many items that are available to prevent young children from harming themselves through natural curiosity. One of those is KinderGard, an inexpensive “starter kit” to address the most obvious dangers in the house. What are some of those dangers? Many of them await in the kitchen. Depending upon the age and dexterity of the young child, he or she is going to want to open cabinet doors and every other kind of door in the kitchen, behind which lurk a myriad of dangerous cleaning and cooking products. Those openings must be “sealed off” from little ones. Drawers in every room are extremely enticing to the child, drawers that are full of such dangerous things as scissors, knives and other potentially harmful tools. The KinderGard addresses these kinds of challenges. Poisoning, of course, is always a threat in the home. Most of us have many liquids that we don’t even realize would be deadly to a child. They have to be totally out of reach and/or under lock and key. And don’t forget the various pills and other medicines taken daily which could also be fatal to a youngster. Two other dangers that the National Safety Council cites are uncovered outlet plugs and sharp corners on counters. (Both of these are solved by the KinderGard, with plugs for the outlets and cushions for the corners.) Parents must always be on guard against potential electrocution of children in bathtubs, sinks and pools, among other places where water could be retained. Electrical appliances where possible should be made with immersion-protection devices. In the past, many fatal accidents were caused by hair dryers falling into bathtubs. If you have any old dryers (made in the early 90s), discard them. Dangers are everywhere you look. Constant attention and alertness when a child is around are the best preventive measures. But you should employ all the help you can get -- from KinderGard and one or more of many other safety devices on the market. |
