child protectionDrowning

* As noted above, do not let your child never alone in the bathtub because one could easily drown, just lost his balance and his head submerged in water.

If I had to leave the bathroom to do anything not leave your child in the care of another child because it is dangerous, take it out of the tub, pick it up in his arms wrapped in a towel and do what you need. Do not leave your child alone while the tub or any container (bucket, basin, etc …) is filling with water.

* If you have a plastic pool on the terrace always empty after a bath, if you leave it unattended full and can choke a child. Never allow children to bathe in a pool without supervision or even have sleeves or float.

The use of these tools can produce a false sense of security, because it can deflate, break or salirsele the child. You should know that gives the maximum security monitoring your child for a responsible adult during the time when children are bathing.

* All public and private swimming pools should have a high fence completely surrounding them with a safety lock which prevents access to all children when no adult is watching. Make sure no objects nearby that could help to jump the fence.

Poisoning (drugs, cleaning products etc …)

* Do not tell your child never a drug is a sweet, since it might encourage them to take it and take it on their own. Do not give medicines never in the dark, for it can you confuse the medicine or dose. Always store medicines in high and in a locked closet with safety lock, because if you just put them on top at some point your child will go to some furniture to achieve them.
