Tragic household accidents happen every day. Poisonings, drowning, and suffocation fill the evening news. No parent should ever have to deal with the heartbreak and regret that follows a preventable accident. Here are some common household dangers everyone should be aware of.

Medications

Pills look a lot like candy and liquid medications resemble juice. According to the CDC, 568,939 children were unintentionally exposed to pharmaceuticals between 2001 and 2003. While most of these cases were not deadly, they could have been. 95 percent of poisoning deaths in the US are due to medications. Medications must be stored in childproof containers in high, locked cabinets.

Cleaning Supplies

Household cleaning products may be harmful and even fatal to children if ingested. Liquid detergents and sprays are often brightly colored and resemble juice. Keep all cleaning chemicals out of reach, preferably up high and in a locked cupboard. Never leave cleaning supplies under the sink, even if it has a child safety latch.

Standing Water

The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that 350 children under the age of 5 drown each year in swimming pools. Yet it’s not just pools that are dangerous. Any amount of standing water is hazardous to small children. Bathtubs, buckets, toilets, and hot tubs also present a drowning risk.

This is an education on the autism symptoms in attention deficit children. It is important to know because early intervention by spotting the common symptoms will mean the difference between normalcy in life and a stunted social existence. No one can truly explain fully the roots of autism nor is there enough literature to properly diagnose and truly define the ailment. We know that autism can be traced to genetics and birth defect related diseases, and it affects many parts of the brain. Strictly speaking, it is a brain developmental disorder, which affects children at a very young age – below three years old. When observing your child, you must understand that autism has many variable symptoms, and cannot be defined by a single defining symptom.

There are many layers of behavioural and mental earmarks that will highlight whether or not a child has autism, and only a child psychologist can truly give a definitive diagnosis. But there are some commonalities when it comes to describing autism in children and the umbrella symptoms are all related to the nature of the condition as a social developmental and communication disorder. Children with autism are not able to function normally within their own social circles and have difficulty communication on the same levels with their peers and adults. In infants, autism shows up in symptoms of decreased social interaction.  Read more...
