Community-Based Intervention for Home Injuries Toward Children

Home injuries among children under six years old are known to cause serious problems to children unless being managed as soon as possible in a correct way. Prevention and control of unintentional home injuries among children has been recently a target and very important area for health promotion of the community. As children learn through experience, minor injuries are inevitable, but providing a safe environment can reduce the risks, coupled with close supervision and setting the limits of safety. Mothers should remember that they need to maintain a constant balance between over-protecting their children on one hand and giving them freedom in the process of learning the hazards of their daily living environment.
