If you have children at home, here are 5 basic childproofing methods:

• Move all electrical appliances including the toasters and coffeemaker out of your child's reach. When not in use, unplug and hide the cords.

• Put lid on trash can. Dispose of anything sharp such as broken glass and sharp metal can lid by immediately taking out the trash.

• Store sharp tools such as knives, peelers and food-processor blades in a high cabinet or latched drawers.

• Keep cleaning products, detergents and any other toxic household locked up or in a high cabinet.

• Purchase and install an all-purpose fire extinguisher that can be used on electrical and grease fires.
