There are many ways of childproofing a house other than just
paddle sharp corners:
- Power point. Make sure you have those plastic protector on the
power socket so that kids can't get electrocuted when poking a
metal stuff into the holes
- Make sure you store away "poisons" (household detergents) and
medications where kids can't reach
- Do not let any fragile things and sharp objects lie around the
living room where kids can just reach. Also, put away things they
can easily put into their mouth and get choked.
- Either stop your kids from entering the kitchen or make sure the
gas ignition button is beyond their reach. As for oven, it's best
buying one with childproof function that kids can't open it as well
as multiple-glazed glass window so that it's cool to touch from the
outside. Like wise for dish washer.
- In bathroom, make sure there are no buckets of water lying around
as kids can easily get drowned.
- For those with blinds at home, ensure that the strap (for
opening/closing) is properly stored away so that kids can't "hang"
themselves accidentally.
- if you have an old fridge (that you're not using) sitting around,
make sure you use rope to tie around so that the door can't be
opened or simply remove the fridge door. Many kids like to use it
for "hide and seek".
