Children have a natural tendency to explore their surroundings and can easily get close to hot surfaces, pots with boiling water, or heated stovetops. Even a slight moment of inattention can lead to serious burns.
As age increases, quick attention decreases, and even for grandparents accustomed to their environment, the presence of small children can be a factor increasing stress levels. Make sure children are supervised, especially in the kitchen and around fire. Keep hot dishes in pots and pans out of reach of small children and explain to them that the stove, oven, and other hot surfaces are not for playing.
Using protective barriers around stoves or hot ovens can also help prevent accidents. Pay special attention to preventing scalding from hot beverages. Secure loosely hanging tablecloths and runners on tables and properly instruct the children.
And get grandma a quality trivet for hot pots, instead of a towel that a small child could pull down. Together with a quality kitchen mitt, it belongs in every household.
