If your child has epilepsy, you can take steps to reduce the risk of a seizure leading to injury.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests:

• Securing padding to any object with sharp corners, such as a table or countertop.
• Avoiding glass tables.
• Getting your child a bed that is low to the floor.
• Making sure carpeting is non-slip, and not using throw rugs.
