Both parents and employees of child care institutions must take care of the safety of children.
First of all, parents need to understand for themselves what is safe for the child and what is hidden in
a threat to yourself.
Prudent precautions are a principle that should reign in your
home.
Accidents are the leading cause of infant mortality worldwide.
The most dangerous from the point of view of injuries is the age of children from 1 to 2 years.
Previously, the child was not interested in what can be done in the kitchen or the same fire on the stove; but times have changed, today he is already doing it. He is interested in seeing how everything works and his interest in the world around him grows day by day.

The child tries to crawl everywhere, touch and study everything around him.
The topic interests all children. Everyone has a lot of imagination and a lot of unused energy. Children need to know what is around them, how it works, why it lights up or why it sounds.
What yesterday did not interest them at all becomes vitally important today.
To identify and prevent any hazards, it is necessary to carefully familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment.
To avoid injury, remove all dangerous objects that a child can reach. Start teaching your child about safe behaviors, change dangerous environments that can lead to injuries: coffee tables with sharp corners, stairs without railings, furniture and beds directly adjacent to open windows.
It is also important to be careful with children outside the home so that they do not have accidents.
