How to Prevent Child Falls at Home

Sep 14, 2022

New Title

National Falls Prevention Awareness Week is September 22-28. Many people, including children, experience a fall at least once in their lives, often leaving them with lasting injuries. However, if you take preventative measures, there are ways to prevent children from falling at home.

Creating a Safe Space for Children

Young children need around-the-clock care and supervision to ensure they have everything they need emotionally and physically. However, sometimes accidents happen, and a child experiences injury. Whether they are at school, on the playground, or at home, there are ways to help prevent your child from suffering an accidental fall, especially at home.

It’s essential to supervise your child around places that could lead to falling, such as near stairs or in the bathtub. Some additional ways to prevent child falls at home include:

Add nonslip rugs
Install lighting in stairwells
Place nightlights in bedrooms
Secure windows and balcony areas
Add gates at the top and bottom of stairways

These are just a few ways to keep your child safe at home and prevent injuries from falling. Hiring a caregiver to assist you with childcare while you are working can also help ensure your child is safe while you are away from home or working from home.
