Safety guides for small children at home

If there are small children in the house, special care must be taken to make sure they are safe. Gates should be placed at the heads of staircases, to keep children from falling down them. Windows should have tightly fastened screens or window guards, to keep children from leaning out too far and falling. Children's toys should be soft and pliable; hard sharp edges can cut and bruise their mouths ad hands. Coins, buttons, pins, needles, and other small bright objects should be kept away from infants, who like to put these things in their mouths. Poisons, cleaning fluids, and all medicines should be clearly labeled and kept out of children's reach.
