As long as it's not too dangerous (i.e.: socket outlets) nor surroundings too dirty, we let him explore on his own so that he'll learn. Elaine Chan, mother of 1	I never leave my daughter alone in the bathroom and kitchen. I do not place any soft toys or bedding in cribs and I always keep away sharp, toxic, tiny, electrical and hot items from my children. Ho Lee Lan, mother of 2	Keep all sharp, small and harmful objects out of sight. Remind my elder kids to keep away their belongings which may pose a threat to my little ones. Do away with glass items, table cloths, and decorative items on small tables. Keep cables and switches covered with safely caps. Wendy Tan, mother of 4
No furniture in the hall if it's designated as the play-room. Any gaps between the floor and the door are to be blocked with a stopper. Place colourful stickers on door mirrors/glass doors so children won't walk into it accidentally. Have colourful toys that are below or at the child's eye level. Install grills for windows. Install a gate after the door. Make sure the floor of your home is always wiped dry. Patrick Sin, father of 2	Plug unused sockets with covers. Cover all stands/table fans with a 'fan-net. Put corner protectors on all tables and on all corners of a TV console. Install a safety lock on the fridge. Ensure all window grills are locked at all times. Install a "portable" gate at the entrance to kitchen. All scissors and pen knives are to be kept in locked drawers. Nyeo Mei Lan, Angie, mother of 2	Install window grills and lock them at all times. Place a safety gate at the passageway to the kitchen. Keep all sharp objects like knives and scissors in the top cabinet. Cover wall sockets Place the baby in the playpen while doing household chores. Close toilet doors at all times and remove all buckets. Do not keep water in the pails Keep wires neat by bundling them with a rubber band. Roshayati Mingoo, mother of 3
Minimum child-proof work was done in my home: The installation of window grills is a must. Place rubber mats around the beds to cushion any accidental falls. Kids have a tendency to jump on beds even if they were already taught to be careful, and of the dangers of doing that. Try and educate the child as young as 9 months of age, when they are able to crawl, stand, and climb. I would assess the action of my kids and decide on whether to teach him to play safe in the house, or to remind them constantly to be careful. Disciplinary action is important for dangerous acts such as deliberately touching or going near an electrical outlet, or climbing on tables, to kick the bad habits in the initial years of the child. Marie Tan, mother of 2	I bought rubber mats and placed them all over the floor in my house. It was a bit of a hassle; I needed to clean the mats every few days, but they are a good safety measure. The mats also double up as a playground for my kids as they were learning to walk and took a few tumbles; the impact of the fall was better absorbed with a mat then directly on the floor. I also made it a point to cover up all exposed electrical points, and buy furniture with no sharp edges, to ensure my home is as child-proof as possible. Yuni Lie, mother of 2
