Step 2:
Child-proof the kitchen
 The average kitchen might seem relatively child-friendly, with its tile or acrylic flooring (easy clean-up) and lack of small, easy-to-reach items. However, since there's also stoves, knives, and strong chemical cleaners in a kitchen, one should never leave a toddler unattended in your kitchen. Here are some important items to remember:
Secure any household cleaners in a locked box.
On the stove, keep the handles of pots and pans turned toward the wall--away from the edge of a stove where a child could reach.
Plastic bags cause many suffocation accidents: keep these tucked away and out of reach.
Install childproof latches (see illustration) on any cabinets and appliances within reach. For a quicker, improvised measure, tightly tie any cabinet handles together with wire, twine, or nylon line.
Be extra careful with kitchen drips and spills: a slippery patch can send a toddler sprawling to the floor.
