Here are some things or parts of our homes that are considered dangerous for toddlers:
Location: WC
Mustache or Scissors shaver
Don’t let the child reach for these objects. Obviously children can get hurt by it. keep these objects in a place that cannot be reached by children, if necessary, store them in your cabinet or hanging cupboard.
Cosmetics and Beauty Medicines
Toddlers have a habit of putting objects in their mouths. do not let your cosmetic equipment or medicines reach him. Poisoning will infect your child if he puts cosmetic ingredients and drugs into his mouth. Store in a place that is not accessible to children better keep in the cabinet
Toilet
Try to have a toilet that can be closed (usually a toilet seat) and make sure it is always closed when the toilet is not in use. Squat toilets are very slippery when stepped on by your toddler, and it is feared that your child might fall. If you have a squat toilet, make a special cover for the squat toilet.
Location: Central Room
Electronic Equipment
DVD / VCD Player is also quite dangerous for toddlers, especially the slot where the CD will come out if you insert a CD. Toddler’s fingers can be caught when the CD slot is pulled into the player. If you have a dvd / vcd player like that, especially if the storage area is always under the TV that is easily accessible to children, try to keep the storage area closed. So that difficult children cannot just massage into the DVD / VCD player.
TV Cabinet or Bookshelf
Even though they do not have climbing skills, children will always be curious about objects that they find attractive that are stuck in the TV cabinet or bookshelves, so they will try to climb and reach them. Because changing a cupboard or shelf is quite difficult, just keep an eye on your toddler, don’t let your guard down and find your child climbs the closet
Small objects scattered about
Buttons, safety pins, needles and other small objects do not get on the floor. Remember, toddlers like to have the habit of putting objects in their mouths, be careful of this. Always clean your floors from small items.
Furniture
The corner of the cupboard, the corner of the table or the end of the chair which is made of wood can be quite painful if the child is bumped into these places. Therefore, now there are many elbow end covers for tables, or cabinets or chairs made of soft materials, making it safe for your child.
Electrical
socket, switch, socket terminal, plug, power cord keep out of the reach of children. Try to close the socket socket or make a cover for a while. Everything is very dangerous for children. Also read: Minimalist house design

Glassware
Glasses, plates and other glassware should be stored out of reach. Even if the cabinet is at the bottom, try to lock it
Trash can
Toddlers have a high enough curiosity about certain items, even though the items are already stored in the trash. We certainly don’t want our children to play with trash. Therefore, hide the trash can in the kitchen cabinet for a while, or buy a trash can that has a safe cover
