Safety
It drives me nuts to walk into a home that is dangerous for young toddlers…and has toddlers in it. exposed plugs, breakables easily reached, cleaners on lower levels. It’s just common sense. We are about to start the safety process at the house. Here’s some safety tips for newborns. Yes, newborn safety is different than “crawling around, exploring” safety, but newborns kinda come first.
Now I never went overboard with Jack. There is a difference between safe and sterile. Kids have to learn not to mess with things and to be careful around breakables. My aunt has a ton of knick-knacks. We learned not to touch and not to play around them. When we were very small, we weren’t allowed in certain rooms. Then, as we were old enough to know better, those areas were opened to us. Never did she move stuff because of us, we just learned. AND, never did we break anything…that I remember. If you teach your kids at home, they will do that much better at friends and family.
