Moving is one of the needs of the human body. The person who begins to move from childhood in this way both recognizes the world and finds the possibility to realize body development (1). Unlike all other age groups, the need for movement in childhood is greater. Children who find the ability to move can grow happier, their motor development is proper, their feelings of confidence are developed. But when they do these movements, they are also open to various accidents, especially in limited areas such as the home. Accidents are unexpected events that occur out of will, with obvious consequences for negative conditions affecting the mental and physical health. Curious, moving, motor and mental development has not yet been completed, and children who behave openly uncontrolled to the risks they cannot cut their consequences are also open to accident (2). When accidents are classified according to the areas where accidents occur, home accidents should be treated as an important title. In accidents that occur inside or around the house, falls, burns, poisoning and related complications are common. Home accidents are a major problem, especially for children and elderly because of their mortal and morbid consequences (3). The number of children killed in household accidents due to external injuries and poisoning in 2017 and 2018 is higher in the group under the age of 5 (4). As a result of these incidents, the shutdown of schools until an unknown date on 16 March 2020 due to the Corona epidemic, the follow-up of the "House Stay" application and the ban of the 20 year-old group from 4 April 2020 forced children to stay in closed environments in their homes. They are accustomed to mobility and showing hazardous behaviors in the house, limiting their living spaces with other family members in the house, because they are tired of being at home and trying to play the games they are accustomed to play in the streets and parks in the house; as in the summer, the number of children in street injuries and traffic accidents increases, as in the Corona days, the number of children in house accidents and injuries increases. Children should not be left alone while playing, their games should be accompanied as much as possible, the responsibility of observing children should be divided into the family members, the children should be kept away from the materials that may cause accident, the objects in the playgrounds should be assured that they will not be the cause of accident, the drying ground in areas such as kitchen baths should be carried out, the objects in the areas that they will climb up and climb up should be fixed or the transport in front of them should be blocked, the protections should be made to the furniture that may be the corner of the cracks, the apparatus that may be put on the windows, the doors and the trailers should be put on, the detergents, the chemicals and the drugs should be allowed to play with the high access to the playgrounds or the high access to the playgrounds.It is possible to prevent accidents with mortal and morbid consequences by taking simple measures toward this situation.And even with the close observations and interests of the parents from "Be at home", the current situation can be converted into an opportunity for children, and the case accidents may even be lowered to the possible levels.For this purpose, parents should be warned at every occasion by health care staff who follow first-level health care, informed through public communication means, ensuring the creation of areas with reduced risk of accidents within the house and creating areas that allow children to move and play without injury.
