Beware! 5 common risks in the home, the last one many people don’t know about!

The winter vacation is coming soon, and the children will have plenty of time to spend at home.

Home serves as a safe haven that shields children from most dangers, but there are also some objects that may hurt children and require attention.

What are the common risks for children at home? How to prevent them? Dad Review has summarized them for you. Check them out before the winter vacation!

Check to see if you still have this old universal power strip at home!

This kind of socket without electric shock protection is a disaster when it encounters a curious baby!

There was news before about a 2-year-old boy who was shocked and cried after inserting a key into a socket. Many netizens also commented below about their own childhood experiences of electric shock.

If parents want their children to avoid being electrocuted, they should choose anti-electric shock sockets, which are the new national standard sockets.

If there are some old sockets on the walls of your home that cannot be replaced with new ones for the time being, you can also use socket protection covers.

Some snacks and supplements for children are filled with desiccants to keep them fresh.

Children sometimes mistakenly believe that these desiccants are edible.

A fan once asked Dad Review for help because his child accidentally ingested desiccant.

When encountering such a situation, parents need to understand the type of desiccant and deal with it in a timely manner.

For accidental ingestion, prevention is more important than post-injury treatment. We need to tell children that desiccant is not a toy, let alone food.

Any excess desiccant at home should be thrown away in time.

After talking about some small items, let’s take a look at the big items in the home.

Some children like to climb high, and they think drawers are suitable objects for climbing.

If the cabinet fell down at this time, the child would be crushed underneath.

A famous Swedish home furnishing brand once recalled its chest of drawers due to the risk of tipping over.

After purchasing this type of drawer cabinet, families with children must install fixings on the back or side of the cabinet, which are generally provided by cabinet manufacturers.

In addition, we can also install drawer safety locks, one to prevent fingers from being pinched, and the other to prevent climbing.

In addition to climbing, human cubs like to crawl into cabinets and boxes just like cats.

They will hide in lockers, toy boxes, and washing machines when playing hide-and-seek.

However, these tight spaces can turn hide-and-seek into a deadly game.

It is a child’s nature to love playing. We need to protect their nature, but we must also emphasize to them that danger is around them and they cannot just go into the cupboard to play.

At the same time, you can also consider adding locks to cabinets that are not often used at home.

A baby should sleep in bed for 16 to 18 hours a day.

In order to take care of their children more conveniently, many new parents will sleep with their children.

However, studies have shown that many babies diagnosed with SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) are accidentally suffocated by sleeping in the same bed with an adult and/or by soft objects in the bed.

From a safety perspective, it is best for your baby to sleep in a flat and firm crib.

If the mother and baby must sleep in the same bed, the child should be kept on his or her back, away from pillows, sheets, and blankets that may cause suffocation, avoid pets or other children sleeping in the bed, and make sure the child does not fall out of the bed.

Growing up healthy and safe is every parent’s greatest expectation for their children.

As the first people to introduce children to the world, parents should not only tell them the beauty of exploring new things, but also constantly emphasize the dangers in life and add a safety lock for their children.

We will never reject our children's exploration of the new world, but there may be some small "beasts" hidden here. When our children are not able to cope with it, parents should pay more attention and provide more protection.

Finally, we have prepared a home risk self-check list for parents to check their homes:

Let your children spend the winter vacation safely at home.
