Judging from the proportion of accidents, the most dangerous places in the home are living room, bathroom, bedroom and kitchen in turn. Many parents think the living room is safe, but it is the most dangerous and neglected place in the home. In addition, if you live in a building in the middle of the building, whether you are a child who just learned to climb stairs or a child who can already walk, it is recommended to install a fence for children's safety door under the stairs, and the distance between the fences must reach the standard of 6 cm gap spacing. Lin Yueqin pointed out that even if children who can walk can walk up and down stairs by themselves, their center of gravity is higher than that of adults. Like a double-decker sightseeing bus, they may be fine when going up the mountain, but they are very dangerous when going down the mountain. Installing a safety fence can prevent children from falling down the stairs by themselves.
The four places with the highest risk index are 1: the living room is most often used by children as a game space, and parents feel very safe, but in fact, it is not uncommon for children to fall down because of running and jumping.
Sofas, French windows and balconies in the living room may cause unexpected risks to children. In particular, parents often put lighters and other items on the table so that children can get them at their fingertips. Many fire accidents are caused by lighters. Other dangers include pebbles and decorations in potted plants, which are easy for children to eat; The sharp corners of tables, chairs and cabinets will be injured if you are not careful; The TV that is not fixed may fall down at any time and kill the child; There are also curtain ropes that cause children to suffocate, folding tables or drawers that are easy to clip.
CEO Lin Yueqin specially reminds parents that the choice of furniture should be as smooth as possible, and there should be no sharp corners, sofas, tables and chairs, beds, etc. Should be avoided. In addition, if the living room is more spacious, the chances of children running are higher. Parents are advised to take their children to outdoor activities.
Many parents will let their children sit in high chairs when eating. It is recommended to fasten your seat belt on the chair to avoid slipping and injury. In addition, it is also necessary to check whether the seat belt is easy to loosen, and try to avoid the upright legs of the chair, and the legs of the chair leaning outward are more stable to sit on.
Danger location 2: The toilet is the most prone to slip, drowning, detergent poisoning and other accidents, and special attention should be paid to the scalding of bath water, although the number of such accidents has decreased in recent years.
Dangerous location 3: The risks arising from the bedroom bedroom include: the window rope may strangle the neck during the child's play; Many families are used to putting TV sets in their bedrooms, so be careful that TV sets may fall down and be crushed. Iron ironing board may be pinched; If the bed is placed by the window, the child may fall down after playing. In addition, socket holes can easily arouse children's curiosity and lead to electric shock accidents, so be careful in the bedroom, living room or kitchen.
Dangerous location 4: There are many dangerous things in the kitchen, such as gas, which can easily cause burns and scalds; Knife, plastic wrap, can opener, etc. Danger of being cut; The glutinous rice balls, alkaline water, rice wine and baking soda bottled in Baote during the Dragon Boat Festival are probably eaten by children by mistake.
Warning! There are 10 keys to the fatal crisis of children at home. The most common accidents that keep children away from danger include falling and falling; Crushing; crushing; Burn and scald; Infarction and asphyxia; And poisoning, in which children who can't climb or walk often suffocate, causing irreparable tragedies, such as spilled milk, blankets covering their noses and mouths or nipples winding. Remind parents to pay attention to the following situations:/kloc-When babies under 0/year old sleep, they must be within the sight of adults, and put the crib in the living room. Once milk spills occur, they can be disposed of immediately; The string or safety pin tied to the threaded joint is dangerous. As long as the baby turns over, the rope is likely to wrap around his neck; A few days ago, a child rolled over and fell into the gap between the bed and suffocated. So it's best to use a crib instead of a bed. This case also found that the parents used the bed but did not fix it, so that the child got stuck in the gap when he fell.
For children's life care, parents should follow several principles to establish safety protection for their children:
1 Floor mat As long as it is an area where children are active, it is best to put a mat.
2. Pay attention to the height and gap of the railing to prevent falling accidents. It is best to stick anti-slip strips on the stairs at home; The gap between stairs and balcony railings should be less than 6 cm, and the height should at least exceed 1 10 cm.
Fix the TV to avoid crushing. There have been incidents in which children collided or climbed the TV cabinet, causing the TV to slide down. So the TV should be against the wall and fixed. In addition, children at home should avoid placing screens to avoid being crushed by dumped objects.
4 the corners of the table should be protected, including furniture such as tables, chairs and cabinets. As long as there are sharp corners, cover them with protective pads to prevent children from colliding and being injured. In addition, avoid using folding tables to prevent pinching.
5 Stay away from hot water, so as to prevent children from getting close to overheated hot water and hot soup.
Use the protective cover of the socket to prevent children from touching the socket as much as possible, and it is best to use the safety cover of the socket to prevent accidental electric shock.
7 small items that can cause infarction and suffocation are better, so don't let children have the opportunity to get them.
Cleaning agents and medicines are in danger of poisoning, and children should be prevented from getting them. It is recommended to put the medicine in a place where children can't see or get it, such as a locked cupboard; Or use bottles and cans with child safety devices to prevent children from easily opening them and eating by mistake.
9 Keep ventilation to prevent poisoning and avoid gas poisoning. At least two windows should be opened to ensure air circulation, which is a small detail that many parents easily ignore.
10 children are forbidden to enter the kitchen and bathroom, and the kitchen and bathroom doors should be closed at any time, which is also an important project required of professional nannies. Clothes dryers and washing machines are often put in the bathroom, which will make children accidentally fall in and cause accidents. A few days ago, it was reported in the news that a girl climbed into the washing machine for fun and got stuck in the dehydration tank. Finally, firefighters dispatched to take apart the washing machine to help the children get out of trouble.
You should be very careful when choosing toys. First of all, you should pay attention to whether there is a safety sign to ensure safety and non-toxicity. In addition, we should carefully observe whether there are warning signs and how old children are suitable for use. In principle, you must choose toys according to your age. For example, children should avoid toys with batteries, or pay attention to whether the battery cover is easy to open; Some toys have small objects, such as car tires. It is best to check whether it is easy to fall down and be swallowed by children. Rough toys should also be careful of the danger of cutting; The rope tied to the toy should not be too long, so as not to accidentally wrap around the child's neck and cause injury.
Warning! There is a fatal crisis in having children at home. Parents with pets in the same room should not ignore the harm caused by pets to their children. The CEO of Lin Yueqin believes that in recent years, pets often bite children, including bites and lacerations. Therefore, parents should think carefully before planning to keep pets. It's not that children don't love pets. It's just that they can't hold their own strength in the process of interacting with pets, and their actions are often relatively large, including pulling their ears, digging their eyes and other improper actions, which will cause animals to attack. After all, animals also have * * *. When children exert too much force on pets, pets may be bitten. Parents are advised to avoid leaving their children alone with their pets as much as possible. Adults must be present, and children have improper actions to stop.
Family safety is strictly controlled by parents. Due to the lack of experience in caring for children and the lack of guidance or help from elders, accidents occur frequently. Therefore, it is suggested that novice parents can make preparations as soon as possible. At present, * * * and non-governmental organizations (such as domestic service centers) will hold lectures, and they can attend relevant courses to absorb correct and sufficient information to avoid accidents.
In addition, remind parents not to think that children are like adults, and children should always pay attention to their own safety. They must have a correct cognitive concept and must not have the wrong myth that "bad things will not happen to my children". It's not easy to take care of children. Only by building a protective net for children's family safety and being vigilant everywhere can accidents be avoided.
The living room is the place where children have the most accidents.
