Many of us have the misconception that drowning only occurs at swimming pools or the beaches but are you aware that children can drown in as little as a few inches of water? Drowning can take place in your own home, and it can happen very quickly. So eliminate any potential drowning hazards in the household. Here are some tips on how to make your home safe!
- Do not leave your child alone in the bathroom, especially the
bathtub, even for a moment. Take your child along with you if
you need to answer the phone or door.
- Keep pails and basins in your bathroom covered or turned over when not in use. Curious children may climb into a pail or basin of water and drown.
