Tips for taking care of young kids when they are playing around

Children are the center of attraction in a family. Taking care of them is a very tedious job for mothers. When the child is actively at play every second the eyes of the mother should be very watchful. Carelessness for even a second might prove very expensive later. Placing things in their respective places can avoid many a dangerous situations. So the mum has to make it a habit to place things smartly without any laziness.

1. Never let the child lie down or play on tables, benches, sofa, kitchen slab etc. and don’t leave them alone and go to some other work.

2. Never leave the iron box to get heated up on the floor. Place the iron box on a higher place. It is best to iron clothes on a table when the kids are playing around.

3. The child goes in search of mother when she is busily working in the kitchen. Many a times water, heated up oil, knives, hot stove etc. might prove dangerous to the life of the child. So, always prevent the child not only from going out of the house alone but also from entering the kitchen.

4. The clothes covering the dining table if beyond the size of the table, make it smaller or buy a cloth that fits exactly to cover the top and never let the hanging chords of electrical appliances hang all the time. As they are always dangerous.

5. Hot water, oil, food, soup, tea etc. or any kind of drinks should not be left carelessly here and there. This gives way to many kinds of dangers to the child at home.

6. Never place the shaving set or cream, cosmetics, kerosene shoe polish, insecticides, detergent soaps, liquids within the reach of the child. Nails, repairing tools, and any other sharp things might prove harmful. Ear buds, tongue cleaners etc. should not be used in front of the child. As it may try to imitate the parents in their absence also.

7. Care should be taken while watching the programmes on TV like circus, fights etc. with smart children curious to know about things, because they may try to experiment with themselves or with fellow kids which might bring danger to their life.

8. Table fan and burning gas stoves shouldn’t be at the reach of the kids. Always make sure that you turn off the cylinder knob after the cooking work is over.

9. There is every chance of children opening the cupboard and refrigerator doors. They may also go and sit inside it, unknowingly. So make sure always that they are locked well after use.
