Still, despite the use of baby gates or rubber grips or other safeguards, and despite our vigilance, accidents do happen. I recently came across an article that contained an alarming statistic. Apparently, a child is treated every six minutes in this country for injuries related to falls on stairs. It seems obvious that stairs can be dangerous for kids, but that is a pretty surprising amount of stair-related accidents nonetheless.
Please take a look at the article and think about what you can do to make your stairs safer, limit your toddler's access to them, and/or help him or her learn to climb them safely and carefully. If your little one moves as quickly as mine, you'll be glad you did!
