Childproofing is the process of making a home safer for children by reducing potential hazards. This involves securing furniture, covering electrical outlets, and using safety gates to block access to stairs. The goal is to prevent accidents and injuries as children explore their environment. Common childproofing measures include installing cabinet locks to keep harmful substances out of reach and using corner guards to protect against sharp edges. Parents often use baby monitors to keep an eye on their little ones and may also remove small objects that could pose a choking hazard.
