The home is a family's special place that serves as our shelter and a venue where we create memories. ?As parents, we do our best to keep our homes and a clean and safe dwelling place, most especially for our children.
I wouldn't say that I'm the type who worries too much, but I always make sure to check our home everyday for things that might harm or cause accidents, just like a loving and responsible mom should do.
Every time we leave the house to go some place (like going to church every Sunday), I'll always be the last one to leave the house because I would check every room to make sure that lights are switched off and electrical appliances such as the television and electric fans are turned off and unplugged. ?I also ?check that the windows and other points of entrance (other than the front door) are securely locked. ?On?occasions that we are to return home late at night, we would leave one light on by the living room to leave an impression that our family's already at home. ?
Last school year, my eldest daughter's project was to create their very own first aid kit out of a shoe box which is what we're now using at home, equipped with first aid essentials such as cotton balls, Betadine antiseptic, alcohol, adhesive bandages (Band-aids), etc., that we can use in case somebody in the family gets injured.
Just the other day, I was asking my husband if we could get other safety devices for the home such as a fire extinguisher. ?I happened to browse fire extinguishers from fire protection online while I was surfing the net and thought that it's about time we get a fire extinguisher just to be on the safe side.I've also started to put together a list of emergency numbers that I will print out and post near our telephone and also save in our mobile phones so that we-and most especially the kids-would know where to call in case of an emergency.
Several times during the day, I always check if the cooking range's burner knobs are turned off. ?There have been several instances in the past wherein the knob was accidentally turned on and so the gas was already leaking, but thankfully we were able to notice and turn it off immediately. ?Whenever we leave the house and before going to bed, this is one of the things I intently check. ?
What are some safety measures you implement at home to ensure the safety of your family? ?Please do share them at the comments below.
