Feedback
Correct By the time babies reach 6 months of age, they begin to become much
more active, curious, and mobile. Putting plastic fillers on all electrical
plugs can prevent an electrical shock. Putting gates at the top and bottom
of stairways will prevent falls. Removing front knobs form the stove can
prevent burns.
Incorrect Poisonous substances should be stored in a locked cabinet not in a cabinet
that children can reach when they begin to climb. The household hot water
heater should be turned down to 120 degrees or less.
