In fact, it doesn’t matter whether they are 18 months or 18 years, we always have their best interests in mind – even if they don’t listen anymore!
However, the home environment can present many dangers to young children. Take curtains and blinds, for example. Although they look great in a room, there’s a risk that kids can hurt themselves if they play around with them.
As such, what are the measures that you can take to ensure that they are safe in your home? Let us explain.
Keep your windows child-safe: Keep babies’ cots well away from windows and ensure that all blind and curtain cords are out of reach. This may mean not placing furniture next to windows – toddlers love climbing!
Child safety devices: You could install a safety device that adds another level of protection. This allows cords to be tightly wound around a cleat and out of reach, alternatively you could opt for electronically operated blinds.
Reduce the hazard: It is important to be aware at all times of child safety around the home. An extra safety measure is the installation of a safety device that either removes the cord loop or limits access to cords. A tension device (either a chain tensioner or cleat) can be anchored to the wall or floor so that young children cannot play with cords or put them around their neck.
Selecting the right curtain fabric type: There is no doubt that kids love to pull and tug on items around your home. While you can tell them off as many times as you like, it might be a good idea to invest in stronger fabric type for curtains in a kid’s bedroom.
For example, sheers and voiles – while they look great in a baby’s nursery, these fabrics are too lightweight and prone to damage especially when your youngest becomes mobile and wants to practice their climbing skills! In a kid’s bedroom, you’ll want a strong fabric that can take the odd pull and is also easy to clean should they get dirty.
If you need help, give us a call on 0800 579 0501 and we can offer helpful advice. We can also provide safety devices to keep your blind cords out of reach.

In May, mayor K Gurunathan said he was standing down after two terms to spend more time with his family.
First-term councillor Rob McCann last week announced he was standing, promising a different style of council if elected.
Deputy mayor Janet Holborow has joined the race, as an independent with backing from the Labour Party.
Waikanae resident Chris Mitchell announced in March he would be standing for mayor.

Just over a year ago, we launched our Building Fund Appeal - the largest fundraising campaign since the foodbank's inception in 1999. The goal was to raise funds to purchase, relocate and refurbish a purpose-built facility we could call our permanent home.
Throughout the project, we have received overwhelming support from the MenzShed, local businesses and service clubs, churches, and the KCDC. However, increasing build costs, and unexpected expenses have left us short of funds to complete our building project.
No stone has been left unturned in our efforts to provide a permanent home for our much-needed service - including grants, large business donations, and repurposing materials from the community centre.
Our goal is to be in our fully refurbished building by spring, but we need your help for that final push.
So whatever you can afford, please dig deep and help us get over the line.
You can donate by calling into our office at 134 Rimu Road, Paraparaumu, or by visiting our website, or by going to your local bank.
Bank account name: Foodbank Building Fund Appeal
Bank account: 12-3157-0048639-50
And for those businesses or schools keen to get involved, why not come up with something creative for a gold coin donation. It's not only a fun idea but will help boost spirits during these colder months - and it's for a great cause.
All donations over $5.00 are tax-deductible, so if you require a receipt or to share photos, please email foodbankkapiti@gmail.com.
Visit www.thekapitifoodbank.co.nz... for a direct link to our designated building fund appeal account.
Once again thank you from the team at the Kapiti Community Foodbank, and from all those in need who rely on our services.
