Accident prevention in young children

As the summer holidays are approaching, and you may be spending more time with your children, it’s important to know how to deal with and prevent many situations that could occur. https://www.rospa.com/policy/home-safety/advice/accidents-to-children

Simple things like not giving your child hard sweets or nuts could prevent a potential serious choking episode. Sitting with your child whilst they’re eating can also help with the prevention of choking, as you’re there to aid if necessary.

Keeping plastic bags, nappy bags and other similar things away from your child can help to prevent the possibility of suffocation, and being mindful of where your child plays and sleeps can also prevent injuries. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/baby/first-aid-and-safety/safety/baby-and-toddler-safety/
