3 Holiday Safety Tips for Children
Despite the beauty and festivity that holiday decorations bring to our homes, they
are potential hazards in the hands of small children. Avoid disaster by taking these
precautions ahead of time so everyone can enjoy your holidays at home safely.
Keep hanging decorations well out of reach, as well as any holiday set
pieces that may be dangling from your mantle or around the fireplace.
Supervise lit candles. An open flame can quickly lead to an emergency,
so make sure that your candles are placed somewhere out of children's
reach where you can easily keep an eye on them.
Make sure your power strips are stowed away and all extensions cords
are neatly tucked into corners, under the carpet, or behind furniture to
avoid a tripping hazard. If you're decorating a tree for the holidays,
keep the bottom branches clear of ornaments so they're out of reach
for young children.
Keep Your Plants Healthy During Trips
Whether you're flying across the country to visit family or driving to the other side of
town to be with friends, travel is a natural part of the holiday season. It's important to
keep your plants healthy during your trips, especially if you'll be away from home for
an extended period of time.
