But as the seasons change and children turn six months, 18 months, three-years and older, it’s time to also realize that living with children isn’t always conducive to a tidy home and parents need to remember to take into consideration their child’s height and point of view so parents can review the precautions they take and make sure their home is safe for their kids.   Key questions: can we have a safe and tidy home? Are there areas of the house where parents need to take special consideration? Is there a resource where we go for more information and safety tips?
