How do you prevent toddler from injury within your home?
I am so nervous now because my toddler fell and hit her head on the back of my kitchen chair. The floor was not slippy and I would have never forseen this accident potential. I have capped my outlets, safety latches on cupboards, meds and cleaners are away from her and I have gates. I foam padded the block around my fireplace and foam covered piano bench. should I put a gate around the fireplace eventhough I do not use it or just cover it some more with foam floor tiles. I am so terrified of her having another injury. The first came at nine months when she split her lip on a coffee table. It was a small injury but this last one required 5 stitches and I feel so terrible. I have been depressed since it happened and find it painful to see her like this.......... I can't cage her but what more can I do to prevent her from hurting herself, toddlers are so full of energy and mischief.
You can't prevent her from getting hurt any more than you already have. Now, you need to teach her how to behave because if she's not jumping on the cushions, running in the house, or rolling around like a wild banchee, she's less likely to get hurt. The 3 yr old I used to nanny for slid off of her bed and bumped her chin on the floor and needed 12 stitches on her chin and the mother felt horrible. Their house was childproofed to the point where anything not kid friendly was taken from the house or locked away! The mother felt SO guilty for about a month after. Sometimes, you just can't prevent it. Trust that you're doing everything you can and know that people make mistakes, especially toddlers, and that sometimes an accident can't be avoided.
