1. Install window locks or child-proof latches to prevent windows from being opened too wide.
2. Keep all hazardous materials, such as cleaning products and medications, locked up and out of reach.
3. Make sure all electrical outlets are covered and inaccessible to small hands.
4. Place a gate at the top of stairs to prevent falls.
5. Use safety gates in hallways and other areas where kids may need to walk through quickly.
6. Install door alarms that will sound when doors are opened.
7. Put away sharp objects, like knives and scissors, so kids can't access them.
8. Ensure furniture is securely anchored to the floor and walls.
9. Install smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors near sleeping areas.
10. Have an emergency contact list on hand with phone numbers and addresses of family members.
