Abstract:
Having an active toddler has certainly made me far more aware of injuries, or more accurately, hazards with the potential for injury. Everyday situations and household objects suddenly become deathtraps and I find myself muddling along a line between being overly protective and overly relaxed. My approach varies according to some quasi-scientific factors such as 'probability of injury' and 'severity of possible injury'. However, it also varies with 'convenience' factors such as 'in a hurry so bad timing for a fall right now' or 'she keeps climbing that so should let her fall while I'm here so she understands the danger'. The most injury prone times are when I'm multitasking, she's tired or other caregivers are present with no clear delineation of responsibility.
