My nephews came to our house the other day. I was very excited to see them after more than two years that I never got the chance to see and play with them. All the excitement vanished after a few hours they arrived.

When playing time is over, our house was a total disaster. Please don’t ask me to describe the place. I might run out of adjectives.

Inspired with what happened, I’ve got some tips for everyone who have or plans to have kids in the house.

1. Do not put things on top of unstable racks, tables, etc. Place fragile items away from reachable places.

2. Cover or hide electric outlets. Kids are really adventurous. They always want to touch and take a closer look at everything they see.

3. As much as possible, do not buy tables or other house stuffs with pointed edges. This could create a hole on the kid’s head after hide and seek.

4. Minimize buying fragile vases, figurines and other items for display. Kids do not know what fragile means.

5. When kids arrive (if they just visit you) keep all your important stuffs if you still want to see them in good shape after the visit.

It is really very important that we arrange the house in such a way that everything will be safe for kids to play. It is very hard to control accidents especially when playing time arrives. No matter how much you scream, if accident happens, you can’t turn back time again to prevent it from happening.
