(Health News) -- Kids can easily slip, fall or burn themselves in bathrooms.
The American Academy of Pediatrics lists these suggestions to make your bathroom safer:
- Never leave a young child alone in the bathtub.
- Place a non-slip mat or strips in the bottom of the tub, keep the toilet lid closed and cover the bathtub faucet with a soft protective cover.
- Adjust your hot water heater so that the water temperature cannot exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit -- and remember to teach older children to turn on cold water first, then hot.
- Make sure all medications have child-proof caps, and store them -- along with other bathroom products such as soaps and cleaners -- out of a child's reach.
- Unplug and safely store any electrical appliances where children cannot reach them.
