Phones

This is the most important item that you should keep out of the children reach. If you’re unable to do so, you need to ensure that you don’t leave it anywhere and gadgets must be under your supervision. As parents, one should keep their phones out of the children’s reach or sight. Phones can be risky for children as they know how to use it that would be quite bad for their future.

Household cleaners

Simple things like closing the door to the utility rooms and putting reasonable doorknob on the door could save you from happening something bad to the children.

Pay concentration to the labels

You need to pay attention to the labels once you start using chemicals in your home. These labels might include danger, caution, warning and toxic. You don’t need to remove labels so that when you use it you should know what you’re using and it can also save you from many things.
