Home is where the heart is, so they say. Yet another way to put it is: Home is where one is safe.
The image of home to anyone elicits a feeling of warmth, comfort, love and security. These may be the people in your home: the baby, the elderly, the jittery teen-ager, the wobbly toddler. Needless to say, their safety needs must be considered and given priority when constructing a house.
With the presence of a toddler in the house, you must make sure that your house is child friendly and accident proof. Doors must have stoppers to allow a child roam around more freely without the risk of being trapped by a closing door. The floor must be kept clean but not waxed or polished to avoid slips and hazardous falls. Shelves must be high enough so the child won’t be able to reach for sharp or breakable objects that can harm or hurt him.
