April Safety Tips


Spring Cleaning: April is a popular time for spring cleaning, which often involves de-cluttering and reorganizing your home. This is a good opportunity to assess potential hazards, i.e. broken toys, breakable items that can be reached, cleaning items that should be up and out of the way, etc and make sure your home is safe for young children.

Seasonal Changes: As the weather gets warmer, children may spend more time playing outside or exploring new areas of the house. This can increase the risk of accidents or injuries, making it especially important to childproof in and around your home during this time.  For little ones: Outside, make sure any containers that have accumulated water are emptied, and broken items in the yard are discarded.  Locks around the pool are not broken.  All items around the pool fence that can be climbable are removed.  Gate locks are working.  For older children go over the safety rules with them.


Earth Day: Earth Day, which is celebrated on April 22nd, is a good opportunity to teach children about the importance of protecting the environment and to use eco-friendly and child-safe cleaning products as part of childproofing your home.

Pool Safety: As the weather gets warmer, families may start spending more time in their backyard swimming pool. This increases the risk of accidents or drownings, especially for young children who are not yet strong swimmers. Installing a pool fence in April, before swimming season is in full swing, can help prevent accidents and provide a safe environment for children.

Overall, April is a good month for childproofing because it provides an opportunity to assess potential hazards in your home and make changes to ensure the safety of young children. Whether you are starting from scratch or just making small adjustments, childproofing your home can help give you peace of mind and keep your children safe.
