  • Check and fix safety considerations such as:
    • Are you close to an open staircase?
    • Are you near the door outside?
    • Are there breakable things (e.g., glass mirrors) within reach of your child?
    • Is there large or heavy furniture or items that are not secured and could fall on your child?
    • Are you near a fireplace or other place of heat that could burn your child if touched?
    • Are you near open electrical sockets or cords?
    • Are you near sharp or hard corners or furniture that your child could hurt themselves on?
    • There are likely other safety considerations that may pertain to your child and your family, these are just some examples.
