Make your home safe and enjoyable

• Make your house as childproof as possible.
  
  
• Have only a few rules. It is better to put your good things away than to always be stopping a toddler from touching them.
  
  
• Make interesting changes every now and again, for example a pile of cushions to climb over, a cardboard box tunnel to crawl through, a cubby house under the card table.
  
  
• Make sure that there is a place and space for your child to explore and run every day.
  
  
• If children have to go somewhere in the car or wait in a waiting room, take some toys to keep them busy.
