The pitter-patter of little feet running through the home is a beautiful sound … until it’s followed by shattering glass and crying. Where there are children, there’s no doubt that messes will happen.
But having little ones also brings laughter, fun, and excitement to the home. You can enjoy all the precious time with kids without stressing about their destructive tendencies. You just have to make sure each room they’ll be in is kid-friendly!
These seven tips will help you childproof your house so you can spend more time laughing together and less time cleaning up messes!
1. Designate a Play Area
Here’s a tip from pro parents worldwide: If you don’t make a designated play area, the entire house will be one.
Chances are, you’re going to find evidence of children everywhere. But a designated play area entices them to keep the majority of their imagination in one room.
It is even more critical to make sure this playroom has a door that you can close when you don’t want to see the mess!
Yes, it’ll be great to have it cleaned up regularly, but between those perfect moments will be big disaster areas. That’s life with kids, and it’s wonderful to let them be able to have fun!
2. Make Room for Toys
