Falls in children - Prevention

Pre-schoolers have no understanding of the consequences of a fall. At this age, they have likely just learnt how to climb and will want to try it out at every opportunity presented to them. Keep away items such as ladders and others that look interesting to climb on. Remove items that can cause injury if children fall on them. Discourage children from running or walking with objects that can cause harm if they fall on them. Make sure all windows have safety grills on them to discourage curious children from climbing out or in through them.
