explores some
of the potential
dangers in
your home
and provides
tips on how
to keep your
family safe
I
t would seem that no
matter how relaxed
and laid back you are
before you have kids, the
moment the first child is on
the scene each and every
parent loses the relaxed
gene and turns into a
worryguts, fretting night and
day about potential hazards
their offspring might come
across. With some of those
potential hazards located
inside the home, it’s worth-
while taking time to ensure
you’re aware of what they
are and that you’ve taken
measures to prevent your
child getting hurt.
Some potential home
hazards simply require
minor adjustments, but
others may need a bit more
planning. Especially given
that many of us rent our
home and are somewhat
limited with the changes we
can make. But it is possible
and, when it comes to
safety, worth it.
