Learn to Child Proof Your Home
Child Proof Advice offers online training on child proofing the home. Watch for the launch of this new training in the 3rd quarter of 2014.
We teach you how and when to child proof a caregiving environment through our easy to understand videos. Beginning before birth to protect your baby through the pre-school stages of development, we help you all along the way to keep your precious children safe.
When children first begin to crawl their curiosity about the world around them triples as they explore any and every thing. Preschoolers develop motor skills, but they have poor impulse control and judgment. They don’t have the strength, coordination nor maturity to avoid injury and their curiosity is a powerful force. As a result, they enter one of the most dangerous times of their lives when they are at the highest risk for injury.
Injuries in the home are preventable. 9 million children visit an emergency room each year due to preventable injuries and 120,000 children are permanently disabled. 70% of those children are under the age of four. If a disease were killing our children at the rate reflected in these statistics, we would be outraged and would demand a cure. Yet, injuries are occurring like a major health epidemic.
Some parents and caregivers will think considering child proofing is not necessary. After all, their parents didn’t seem to do anything special and they were raised successfully. But stop and think….how would you feel if you were one of those parents whose child died in the emergency room? There is absolutely no greater devastation than losing a child and certainly that devastation is compounded when the loss is due to a preventable accident.
In addition to online training, Child Proof Advice offers a Do-It-Yourself approach to child proofing. This product allows parents of all economic circumstances to do as much as they choose in providing safety for their children...and to do it at their leisure. The cost of professional child proofing is decreased dramatically with the purchase of our Do-It-Yourself Safety Guide and safety products.
As with any child protection service, the offerings of Child Proof Advice are intended as a supplement to close adult supervision. The knowledge of Child Proof Advice was derived from the evaluation of products, educational materials, prevention programs and the input from health care practitioners and experts in child safety.
Your question is not will your child find hazards in the home, but when...
