Stairs Safety
For children who don't have stairs in their homes, when they see stairs in someone else's home, they often want to play on them. Everything from climbing them to coming down on their bottoms to rolling balls or toys down them is new and exciting. If a child is not used to stairs -- especially younger children -- it's very important to keep an eye on them and to remind them that stairs can be a dangerous place so keep the playtime short.
Also, there are staircases everywhere in the outside world. When climbing and descending staircases with children, always let them use the handrail. Try to stay one step ahead of them in case you have to catch them in a fall.
