When parents use baby playpens, they can help their babies build safety awareness by educating them on some basic safety knowledge. Here are some basic safety tips you can teach your baby:
No touching of electrical appliances: Parents can teach their children that electrical appliances are dangerous and not let them touch plugs, cords or electrical devices. At the same time, parents can place electrical appliances outside the playpen and away from the baby's reach.
Don’t throw objects around: Parents can teach their babies not to throw objects around, especially sharp or heavy objects, to avoid hurting themselves or others. You can help your baby understand this concept through demonstration and repeated emphasis.
Beware of Stairs: When babies are old enough to crawl or walk, parents should teach them to be careful of stairs. Some reminder signs can be placed near the fence to remind the baby of the dangers of stairs and provide appropriate supervision and guidance when crawling or walking.
No contact with sharp objects: Parents can tell their babies not to contact with sharp objects, such as knives, scissors, needles, etc. Explain in simple, clear language that these items can hurt them and how to avoid contact with them.
Don’t open the door at will: If there is a door near the fence, parents should educate the baby not to open the door at will. Door locks or door handle guards can be installed to prevent your baby from accidentally opening the door.
Don’t eat at will: Parents should educate their babies not to pick up things on the ground and put them in their mouths to avoid accidentally eating foreign objects. They can be told to only eat food or foods given by their parents.
Don’t take unfamiliar objects: Parents can teach their babies not to take unfamiliar objects, such as food or toys given by strangers. Role-playing and simulated situations can be used to help babies understand how to deal with strangers and unfamiliar objects.
These are some basic safety knowledge, and parents can adjust the content appropriately according to their baby's age and understanding ability. During the education process, parents should use simple and clear language, cooperate with demonstration and repeated emphasis, so that the baby can gradually master these safety knowledge and transform it into a habit of safe behavior. At the same time, parental supervision and guidance are also very important to ensure the safety of the baby in the playpen.
