2. Use Safety Gear

• Equip kids with helmets, knee pads, and seat belts when biking, skating, or riding in cars.

3. Childproof Your Home

• Secure furniture to walls to prevent tipping.
• Keep sharp objects, medicines, and cleaning products out of reach.
• Use safety gates for stairs and covers for electrical outlets.

4. Prevent Choking Hazards

• Avoid small toys and foods like nuts, popcorn, and grapes for young children.
• Cut food into small, manageable pieces.

5. Practice Water Safety

• Never leave children unattended near pools or bathtubs.
• Teach swimming basics and use life jackets when boating.
