HOLIDAY DECORATIONS CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR KIDS!
We all know kids are
attracted to shiny baubles. And Holiday Decorations are full of shiny baubles and other pretty, but dangerous items that can cause serious harm
to a child.
Let's start with the Christmas Tree. If you have toddlers in the home, try to keep the lights and ornaments up higher. They love to grab at things and the tree poses a tipping- over risk. And they love to put things in their mouths. Smaller ornaments hung low on the tree are a choking hazard for little ones.
Decorations can pose all types of hazards. Hanukkah and Christmas candles need
to be kept out of reach. Tablecloths are a temptation for little hands who like
to pull on things. Broken glass/plates, falling hot food and candles are a few
of the posibilites. Keep greenery out of reach as well. While Poinsettias are
not poisonous, Mistletoe berries ARE poisonous.
Those wrapped presents are very pretty, but they are choking hazards. Also it is fun to play in those styrofoam peanuts, but they are also just small enough for little ones to put in their mouth.
If you have children under feet in the kitchen, take extra care when moving hot pans, opening the oven or cooking over burners. Our little ones do not know the dangers, but we do.
Keep those babies safe this Holiday Season!
