Safety Rules at Home for Children

Kids love to explore and at home, they get the best freedom to do that. Home is where kids explore the world in miniature, and this is necessary for the healthy and proper development of their minds and body. 


Has your kid(s) been getting into unnecessary home accidents? You may want to know some safety rules at home for children so that you enjoy a happy family. Below I have some basic safety tips for children living at home; but these rules are meant to ensure that your home is fun, stimulating and safe for your growing child(ren) and not to be like a military barrack.

      ·         No walking about in dark

Do not allow the children to walk around the house in the night when the light goes off. Kids love to play hide-and-seek game but try as much as possible to keep them at a safe place for this kind of game. Mind you, I didn’t say you should prevent them from playing at all.

      ·         No leaving the house alone

No matter how the kid will want to go beyond the premises of the compound, do not allow him to go beyond where your eyes can reach him. But don’t be too hostile anyway. Just do it in a mild way that the kid will understand and appreciate the care instead of feel estranged.

      ·         No experiment with electric cable or fire

On no account should you allow your kid to play or experiment with any electric appliance. This is one area where you have to be strict and unyielding no matter how the kids lament.
  

      ·         Stranger in the house

You have to monitor the kind of visitors that you allow in your home especially the ones your kids bring in. They are free to invite them over but with your awareness. These days, most child abuses are caused more by friends and family members, than strangers, so keep your eyes wide open.

      ·         Eating

The kids shouldn’t eat any food they see lying around the house and so instil in them the knowledge of taking food from a particular place it may be in the fridge or any safe place to avoid consuming food mixed with rodent poison.

      ·         Washing the dishes

Get the kids to wash the dishes promptly and arrange them on the rack. Cleanliness will minimise rodents and insects which are major causes of food poisoning in the house.

      ·         Same Route to school

Let your kids follow the same route they always take to school, no diversion to avoid kidnapping and when they are lost, let them reach out to the nearest police station.

Kids need our loving protection but they always frown at anything that suggests hostility, so in applying these safety rules at home for children make sure to be mild and friendly. Let the kids know the reasons for these rules especially those that need explanation.
