We know that children like to play on stairs, as a result, many home injuries occur on stairs each year. That is why you have to make sure that you never leave your child unattended near a stairway.

The next thing you should do is to always use safety gates to block off access to stairs if you have babies or toddlers in the home. Then, keep all items picked up from the stairs.

Remember, toys and other items left on stairs cause many trip and fall accidents. That is why you should keep toys picked up from the stairs. The next thing you should do is never leave children unattended near open windows. Screens will not prevent a child from falling out. Keep windows closed and locked if they are within the reach of children. Do not leave a child of any age unattended in the bathroom. You can use a slip proof bath mat to prevent slips.
