How to keep your children safe? Bumps and bruises are an inescapable part of childhood, but a light injury is only one step away from a fracture. To protect your kids, follow the principles of child safety. Keep in mind that the most important rules you need to follow are about behavior in the car as it’s the most dangerous mean of transport.

SUMMARY:
- Since 1992, when an official recommendation changed from “sleep on the stomach” to “sleep on the back,” the mortality rate from sudden infant death syndrome in Western Europe has decreased by three times.
- Put security bars on your windows. They must be provided with emergency release devices in case. Ensure secure fixing of furniture (especially of high cabinets) and any other things that can tip and fall.
- The diet of children under the age of 5 shouldn’t contain round-shaped solid foods, such as sliced sausage, nut kernels, hard candies, grapes, and maize.
- Go to chest compression and artificial respiration courses to perform CPR if necessary.
- Hide matches and lighters from your children, and don’t keep lighters and other fire sources that look like toys in the house.
- Reduce the time your child spends next to a hot stove, and install a protective barrier around the stove if possible.
- More than half of all childhood intoxications are provoked by accidental medication intake. Keep all drugs (even vitamins) out of children’s reach. Never call medicine "candy" — it may provoke the child’s interest in them.
- Keep gadgets that contain lithium batteries away from children. These include car alarms, clocks, remote controls, flameless candles, laser pointers, and flashlights.
- Drain the tub immediately after you finish all bath procedures. Toilet lids, doors to the bathrooms, and laundry rooms should be permanently closed.
- As a rule, tragedies in the water take place silently and within a minute. Therefore, watch your child, and don’t get distracted by reading books or talking on the phone.
- “W-sitting” is one of the most common sitting positions for many kids. However, this position may cause serious orthopedic problems, delays in the development of postural control and stability, and motor skills.
- Before letting your child ride a bike, teach them to engage in eye contact and give hand signals to both drivers and pedestrians.
- A child can sit in an adult chair only if their height exceeds 4′6” and they weigh at least 70.8 lbs.
- Seats for children under the age of 2 should be set against the car movement. Before you start the car, try “pinching” a belt, and if a fold formed — tighten it. The car seat shouldn’t move more than an inch.
