As a toddler, I was bad to stack things and climb them to get to things I wanted. Apparently I climbed onto shelves & got a box of important papers, tearing up such things as my parents’ marriage license, lol. That was replaced, but I got my comeuppance when I climbed up to the medicine cabinet: let’s just say this, remember when Ex Lax looked like chocolate bars??? Yeah, it was a long night for Mom.
I fallen foul of lots of these as a baby/toddler, particularly no. 13 – I was once trapped under a huge Victorian wardrobe for an hour when it fell on me as I tried to climb up the inside shelves! Luckily I was unhurt but I’ve hated enclosed spaces ever since!

Tip #8 is so important – it takes only a few inches of water for a young child to drown.
