Kitchens are considered one of the most dangerous areas of a home, for children and for seniors. Many more accidents and falls occur in the kitchen. Keeping the kitchen a safe environment isn’t always easy, but it can be accomplished through a series of steps.
Look at the kitchen with a critical eye and realize that what may seem perfectly harmless to you may be a potential threat to your elderly father. Watch out for dangerous objects that you take for granted. This can mean anything from the cookers to the cleaning supplies stored under the sink. Considering elderly parents, safety is the key issue.
As most caregivers of elderly parents know, it is often very difficult to convince your Mom or Dad to change their habits. However, stress the importance of safety whenever possible. If your parent is suffering from a cognitive disorder, remind him or her not to place canned goods in the microwave or be careful with knives that just doesn’t work. It’s up to you to unplug the microwave and to place the kitchen knives in a secured drawer.
Many caregivers of elderly parents hesitate to make such changes because they are afraid of hurting feelings. However, when compared to the alternative, it's best to be firm and make safety a priority. Nevertheless, ensuring elderly parent safety in the house, not just the kitchen, is important. As many elders develop cognitive issues, it may be difficult for him or her to tell between safe and unsafe.
Ensure that any room in the house, especially the kitchen, has safe access for those using canes and walkers. It’s not an easy task, but with a little planning and a developed course of action, you can help make the kitchen one of the safest areas of the house, and not the other way around.

The sooner you begin working in a lab, on research projects or helping as a teaching assistant for a professor, the better you'll be able to figure out your career.

C.Once you have a better idea of which major you like best
