Parental Controls
25. April 2023Children are curious, eager to experiment and full of energy – and unfortunately, large parts of human civilization are not exactly a paradise for children’s needs; just think of the ubiquitous car traffic, which hardly allows children to simply walk around on their own and explore their surroundings.
And unfortunately, many dangers lurk inside the house for curious little free spirits. Children can fall down the stairs, out of windows, drink drain cleaner, or sneak out the door and disappear. Especially toddlers, who are already very agile but can’t yet speak or can barely speak, face many dangers in the house and shouldn’t really be left unattended – but even the most reliable mother and the most careful father sometimes look away, go to the bathroom, change a sibling’s diaper, or take a cake out of the oven. Well-placed child safety devices ensure that toddlers don’t put themselves in danger during such brief, unsupervised moments.
Professional child safety features: How to make your home childproof
By childproofing your home, you create an environment where your child can safely explore their natural curiosity. You won’t have to constantly rescue them from dangerous situations or suppress their urge to discover with a constant “no”; you can simply let them explore – and even if you can’t keep an eye on them for a moment, nothing bad will happen.
To make your apartment childproof, you should do the following:
- Once your child is old enough to reach the door handle, lock the front door and remove the key from the lock. This prevents your child from simply wandering out while you, for example, are briefly in the bathroom.
- Have locks installed on the windows and keep the keys somewhere your child cannot reach. This will prevent your child from opening the window and falling out.
- Locks are also useful for cabinets in which you store dangerous items such as cleaning products or medications.
- Secure all shelves and cabinets firmly to the wall so they cannot fall over when the child climbs on them.
- Secure electrical sockets with special child safety locks and never leave electrical appliances such as mixers, toasters or irons plugged in.
- Attach edge protectors to the edges and corners of your furniture.
- Get a stair gate if you live in a house with an upper and lower floor.
