Injuries are much likely to happen to those who are susceptible to them. And of course, toddlers, with their eagerness to try new things, their shaky motor skills, their relative immaturity, and their lack of judgement. Easily fall into that category. It is not enough to injury-proof your child’s environment, you’ve got to begin to injury-proof your child by teaching and what’s safe and what’s unsafe, instilling a respect for the body and the risks it faces, and establishing good safety habits. So teach your toddler about all these which I am going to tell you in this guide.
Sharp or pointy implements – Whenever you use a knife, scissors, razor, or letter opener, or other sharp implements, be sure to remind your toddler that it’s sharp, that it’s not a toy, that only mummy or other grownups are allowed to use it.
Hot stuff – By a year, if you have already begin introducing the concept, your toddler will probably understand what hot means, that the warning “hot!” means don’t touch and that something that’s hot can mean a boo-boo.
Electrical hazards – Electrical outlets, cords, and appliances all hold great appeal for curious toddlers. And it’s not enough to use distraction every time you catch your child on the way to probing an unprotected outlet. Or to hide all the visible cords in your home; it’s also necessary to repeatedly the toddler of their “ouch” potential.
Choking hazards – When your child puts something in his mouth that doesn’t belong there, take it away and explain, “You can’t put those things in your mouth. They might get stuck in your throat and hurt you.”
Poisonous substances – You are always meticulous about locking away house hold cleansers, medicines and so on. But at a party, one of the guests leaves his vodka and orange juice on the coffee table. You are asking for trouble if you haven’t begun to teach your toddler the rule of substance safety.
