Safe Spaces at Home

Most accidents happen in the rooms we feel safest in. The good news: small changes make a big difference.

Try this today

• Walk through your home from your child's height. What looks tempting? What looks sharp?
• Keep cleaning supplies up high, even if your child is older — disabilities and curiosity don't follow age.
• Use a slow-close gate on stairs and a door alarm on the front door if your child wanders.

If your child wanders (sometimes called "eloping"), this is not bad behavior. It is a safety need. We'll help you plan for it.
