Tip of the Day



Child-proof your Home

One of TV's first children's shows -- "Captain Midnight" -- made its debut on this day in 1954. While fighting crime, our hero told kids to "play safe and be careful." That's still good advice. Kids like to run and play and sometimes things get in the way. To provide a safe environment for little ones, it's important to fully child-proof your home. First cushion all sharp corners. Add special "kid" locks on all doors, drawers and cabinets, and kid-proof latches on all kitchen appliances. And, don't forget locks for bi-fold doors and toilet lids. Put slip-type loose covers on door- and stove knobs and non-slip pads and strips underfoot (to add traction for little feet). You'll find all these items and more at your local hardware store. It's child injury prevention week and baby safety month. And that's the On The House tip for today.
