Kids like to imagine what being an adult is like, and sometimes that can lead them to do some things that get them into trouble, or even worse yet, downright dangerous situations. While there are some moms and dads out there who want to sharpen their child's imagination, others sometimes find that they have kids whose imaginations and curiosity about the world can get them into some questionable spots.

Kids love to get into everything, including backpacks and drawers. While that can be good for their mental development, this can be a bit harmful as well if they find things like pill bottles. But luckily, this is where a company called Safe Rx comes in. According to safe-rx.com, they have created pill bottles that have a lock, which means that the kids who might run into them have less of a chance of opening them than they do opening regular pill bottles. But still, this situation can always be dangerous, and parents should know how to avoid it. BabyGaga recently spoke with Milton Cohen, who is the CEO and president of the company.

"Despite their benefits, prescription medications in the wrong hands can be dangerous. Toddlers and young kids are curious – and feel the need to explore every new object they find, from the contents of a purse or backpack to a cell phone, toilet paper, and small bottles with round objects that make noise when you shake them (similar to a rattle they might play with). Child-resistant caps just aren’t cutting it anymore, as researchers have found that children are getting increasingly adept at opening child-resistant caps. Virtually all (90%) child poisonings occur at home, and some prescriptions can contain a lethal amount of chemicals in just a single pill. Locking up your pills and storing them out of sight and out of reach are critical parts of any family’s medicine safety" said Cohen.

Since kids often feel as though they want to explore lots of different parts of the world, that means that pill bottles are not the only things that they are likely to get into. But the good thing is that there are some extra measures moms and dads can take to store certain things in spots where their little ones cannot get to them. According to thebabycorner.com, parents who wish to keep their kids out of certain things can try creating a "no touch" area in their home. They can do this by taking the object or objects that they do not want their little one touching and placing it in a certain spot, and then they can tell their child that the things that are placed in that area are not things that they can touch.

But, this can be tricky for parents to do. That is because this requires a lot of consistency, and it is not something that works right away. However, if they give it a few days and remain consistent, then their children should learn not to touch the things that are placed in that area of their homes.

How To Safely Cultivate Your Child's Curiosity

In addition, there are some other tips that parents might want to try as well if they have a curious toddler roaming about their home. For example, when their toddlers are awake, moms and dads should try doing things that involve them.

This can be hard, but it is a great way for a mom or dad to ensure that their attention is always on their little boy or girl. Furthermore, this is kind of a great way for one to baby-proof their home since it can keep the child from getting into things that can be dangerous for them. Exploring new things is an excellent way for a child's mind to develop, but that does not mean that it is always safe for them.

However, one way for a parent to let their little one's adventurous nature come out and play while keeping the child from danger is by allowing them to have some playtime outside. Moms and dads can set aside some time each day to let their children go out into the backyard (if they have one) and play. This keeps the child safe, and it can help parents by giving them time away from their children so that they can get some things done around the house.

Also, since it is good for a little one to be curious about certain things, moms and dads can try putting things that their little ones are curious about the inside of a box, and letting them play with those things (if they are safe for children to play with). This activity can keep a child busy for quite some time, and it is a good way to keep them from getting into dangerous things like pill bottles.
