When a child is being introduced to a dog for the first time, it is safer for the child to put out its fist to the dog to smell, rather than fingers. This way the dog will not be afraid of the flapping fingers and the child is protected from having his fingers bit if the dog reacts in that way.
Dogs do not see children as authority figures and seem inclined to see them as equals. The child shouting commands at the dog will not have the same response as an adult issuing commands. If both children and dogs are taught to be loving and kind to one another, it will produce a great relationship and child safety will be maintained.
One of the first steps in development of your baby is when he/she learns to crawl. This adds worries to your life about a multitude of accidents that could happen. One of the basic accidents is when a child looks at a large wall and only sees the wall electrical plug. There is only one place to go. I am presently seeing the baby poking something into the hole.
For baby home safety one of the most important tools we can have is the inexpensive wall plug. When something is unplugged from the wall plug, this fixture automatically plugs the hole, thereby making it impossible for the baby to poke things into the hole.
