Xiao Li (China) said he bought a bottle of 502 glue to fix a broken item. After fixing it, he had a phone and forgot to put it away. His 8-year-old son picked it up out of curiosity. He thought it was eye drops so he tried a few drops.

Immediately, the child cried loudly in pain. Xiao Li rushed over. Seeing the child's condition, he was extremely panicked but quickly thought of a solution. He immediately took the child to the faucet and ran cold water into the child's eyes several times. Then, he used salt water to clean the glue.

After administering emergency treatment, he immediately took his son to the hospital. Doctors praised the father's response and said his prompt intervention prevented serious consequences.

However, he still felt guilty towards his child. He believed that the accident happened due to his own negligence. From the incident, he reminded parents to keep dangerous objects in the house in a hidden, safe place to avoid children from using them out of curiosity and causing accidents.

At the same time, he also reminded parents that in case of emergency, adults need to calmly handle the situation and perform correct first aid measures to avoid danger.

Things parents need to do to avoid danger for children

Handling sharp edges and corners of furniture

Sharp edges and corners of furniture in the home are a danger to children. When playing at home, children can easily be hit by these hard objects, causing injuries to the head, face and other parts.

Parents should cover sharp edges with protective devices. These protective devices are not only soft but also have a good cushioning effect, which can effectively reduce the possibility of children being injured.

Additionally, parents can also choose to purchase furniture with more rounded designs and more detailed edge treatments to minimize hazards.

Install child protection fence

For families with young children, creating a safe play space is very important. Parents cannot always keep an eye on their children, so installing a child protection fence is an extremely wise choice.

Fences can not only keep children in a safe area, prevent children from coming into contact with dangerous objects in the house, but also give parents peace of mind when dealing with other problems. When choosing a fence, you should pay attention to the stability and safety of the material, to ensure that the fence is not easy to fall or harm your children.

Don't leave children home alone.

Children are naturally curious. When left alone, they may engage in dangerous behaviors due to a lack of safety awareness, such as playing with fire, touching electrical equipment, climbing high places, etc., which can easily lead to accidents.

To prevent this from happening, parents should avoid leaving their children home alone. If you need to go somewhere, arrange in advance for a trusted adult to look after your children or take them with you.

Parents should also impart basic safety knowledge to their children, so that they understand what behaviors are dangerous and how to handle problems when they encounter them. This can enhance children's self-protection awareness to a certain extent.

Stay away from dangerous objects

Some common household items can be very dangerous for children. Not only lighters and glue, but many other items can be harmful to children. The mercury in thermometers is highly toxic and can pose a serious health risk to children if broken.

Chemicals such as medicines and cleaning agents are also potentially hazardous and should be stored properly and kept out of reach of children. Sharp objects such as scissors and knives should also be kept out of the reach of children to avoid injury.

Parents should regularly check their homes for potentially dangerous items and take appropriate steps to ensure a safe home environment for their children.
