This week, The National has shared a story regarding a recent report shared by Latifa Hospital in Dubai. This report has found that accidents in the home are one of the most common causes of injury in toddlers who live here.

So we want to ask you - how do you ensure your home is safe for your little ones? With Dubai's hard tiled floors found in almost all villas and apartments, plus large, hard staircases, open rails and sliding doors it can be a little more difficult to child-proof your home. Would you agree? The report also says burns are a common injury.

Plus... Are parents in Dubai more blasé? Who's to blame when children are hurt while being taken care of by home help? What are your experiences?

I think parents should be taking more responsibility for their children. Nowadays it's so easy to hand them over to someone else to look after and then they want to get upset when something happens to the children. I realise you cannot watch your child 24/7 but it is the parent's responsibility to ensure that their home is safe for children to be around.
