Small children get minor cuts and scrapes very often. These injuries happen when children fall, run into things, or step on sharp objects.

  • Do not let your child play where there is sharp-edged furniture.
  • Do not let your child play where she can climb to high places.
  • Close doors to rooms that are not safe and doors that go out to your yard.
  • Put shoes on your child when she plays outdoors.
