Home Safety Kids

Home Security With Camera for Home Safety, Kids Safety and Family Watch
Author: Andrew Stratton
Most parents really would prefer to be at home when the kids are coming home after school. However, that just is not always possible. Work, lessons, and distance often makes it impossible to be in the home at all times when children are present. There may be a nanny, housekeeper or babysitter available, but parents sometimes want to see for themselves what is going on in the household when they aren’t around to supervise. It may be that the youngsters need to know that mom or dad will be checking on them to make sure they make it home on time, or that they are completing chores that are needed.
Having a home security system with a camera means that no one can be in the house when they are not supposed to be present. This can include those who are present to try to burglarize the home or the parents may not want children from other families in the house when there is no adult supervision. Conversely, there is the whole issue of the quality of the child care being provided by paid employees in the home. The housekeeper or nanny may not be paying enough attention to the needs of a very young child. They may be overly forceful in their punishment or discipline of the child, sometimes even to the point of injury. With a home security camera, the parent can check in visually several times during the day, or as often as they want so that they can check on the child and the caregiver unobtrusively and confirm that everything is okay at home, or intervene if necessary to protect the child.
A similar situation occurs in a home when there are pets such as a dog or cat that stay alone in the house while you are out working or on a recreational break. A recording device played for them while you are out, or a camera recording of what they are getting into. This is not to say that the dog and or cat are misbehaving, it’s just that many refuse to obey your commands if you are not there to enforce them. Having camera surveillance of your pets can be a way to protect them if they are venturing into situations that could be harmful or fatal to them.
If there are elderly family members who live in the home, or even in another residence, a home security camera is ideal for monitoring their well being. Help can be sent in the event of an incapacitating illness or when there is a fall.
Of course, an obvious reason for setting up a home security system with a camera is to prevent unwanted intruders into your home. In many cases, the alarm alone will be enough to scare off the intruder, but a camera, alarm and tie in to a response unit will be a great way to prevent loss from theft to your possessions. Alarm systems for home security usually include notification of inhabitants for fire, smoke and noxious gases as well as intruders.

QUESTION:
Need ideas for activities that teach elementary kids about safety?
I have been doing research but I’m not finding much. I need to come up with an activity for elementary kids that will teach them about some kind of safety (fire safety, electrical safety, playground, traffic, bicycle, kitchen, safety in the home etc.) It must also be an activity that is interactive like something they can touch or move can’t just be something they read or listen to. I was thinking maybe some kind of game but I am stumped for ideas. Thank you so much!!!!-
ANSWER:
I remember when I was in second grade (in the stone age) and Officer Friendly came into the classroom and taught us about safety. Your local municipal or country police are very good about teaching kids about safety.I don’t quite remember the games, but the officer had kids acting out scenarios and then he elicited responses from the classroom.
Also, it is important that youngsters are not afraid of police officers and should always feel comfortable about seeking their assistance.

QUESTION:
Home safety for my kid – Avoid Tripping over balcony?
I am worried about my kid tripping over the balcony on the 2nd floor of our new home. The balcony is on the second floor of our house and you can see the living room downstairs when you see over it. He is about 7 years old and sometimes tries to watch downstairs through the balcony and I am extremely afraid that he may trip over it and fall down. I have tried looking for some kind of safety railing but can’t find a single product for it. Can someone please adivse?Thanks,
The balcony is of normal height i.e. about 4 ft. But the problem is that my kid, who is about the same height tries to jump and hold his elbows over the balcony edge and tries to look down. I hope this will give you guys an idea.-
ANSWER:
The balcony should have a railing, high enough so that he could not trip and fall over. You might call your building department and ask them how high it is supposed to be in your building code. There will be also a rule about the distance between upright members

QUESTION:
Should I keep shoes on my kids at home during the day?
My mother and friend think it’s a good idea for safety and so they will already be ready if we need to leave the house or go outside. They also think it will get them use to having them on so they don’t fight it later on. My kids are 2 and 4 years old.-
ANSWER:
I don’t think it matters either way as long as the shoes fit right and don’t get in the way of their feet growing.My sis kept my nephew in shoes all his life, even as a baby, but when he was like 3-4, he would come here to “no shoes land” and he would totally freak out if I took his shoes off.
My mom let me run around bare footed and now I hate socks and only wear shoes to go out.
Going without shoes will toughen the feet so they’re not hurt as bad when they do step on something, wearing shoes keeps the feet soft and more vulnerable to pain if they step on something.
It’s really your call.
