1. Doorstops - Use door stops to prevent your kids' fingers and hands from being pinched or crushed in your office door.

2. Window Blinds - I am sure that you have heard of all of injuries and deaths caused by blinds and cords. For this reason, make sure that your blinds are safe. On older miniblinds cut cord loop, remove buckle, and put safety tassels on cord. Make sure that this cord remains tight, if not, you will need new blinds.

3. Outlet Covers - Purchase outlet protectors for all of your free electrical sockets. Make sure that they aren't easily removed or they might become a choking hazard.

4. Safety Locks - If you have drawers in your office that contain dangerous items, you should invest in safety locks. Safety locks can prevent poisoning, choking, and other injuries.

5. Safety Gates - Use safety gates wherever you foresee danger for your kids. I use safety gates everywhere, including my home office. I put a gate from my desk to wall to prevent kids from touching computer equipment. It works great.

6. Corner Cushions - If there are sharp corners on any furniture in your office, invest in corner cushions to prevent injuries from falls.

7. Tie up Cords - Tie up and hide electronic cords. Try running cords under rugs or behind furniture.

8. Surge Protector Covers - I have two surge protectors in my office. I invested in covers for them so kids cannot play with them.

9. Put Away Small Items - Keep staples, paper clips, rubber bands, and other small items away from reach of your children.

As a work at home parent you will need to make many adjustments in your life, this includes your home office. You home office will grow as your children do. Moving things around and adding new features will probably be something you do regularly to keep your kids and work life balanced. Remember to always keep safety guidelines in check and enjoy working at home with your kids.
