Bright screens are always loved by the kids. It is just not the T.V, today, they are exposed to almost every kind of electronic gadget from a simple phone to a laptop.

Though they want to have it all the time, it is pretty hard for them, to hold these, carefully. And, it is not good for their eyes too. What is the best thing that can be done, in this case?

Few options are, using a screen protector that makes it safe for the baby-usage, put them in a playpen during their play hours, and lastly, buy them kid-gadgets that are available in the market. Baby smartphones are an example. When you are charging your phones or tablets, do not let your babies near them.

Outlets and Power cords

Usually, outlets will be installed high enough out of babies’ reach. But, there are chances that a few outlets, will be down, and these should be covered using baby outlet covers, or even the surge protectors can be used.

Try to avoid using the lower outlets for charging your phones and other electronic gadgets. This should solve all major problems related power cords.

The Blu-Ray/ Modem or Router Shelf

As said, kids are interested, in everything they see, and it is not any different with a Router or modem. Again these can be placed somewhere top, and make it inaccessible to your baby, until certain age.
