En la bañera, utilizar alfombras o pegatinas antideslizantes.
Evitar utilizar sillas o muebles para alcanzar objetos altos en vez de escaleras apropiadas.

En los ascensores los niños pequeños deben ir siempre acompañados por un mayor.
· Las cerraduras de las puertas de la casa deben ser seguras para evitar que los niños las abran.
Los cierres de las ventanas deben estar fuera del alcance de los niños y protegidas.
Las terrazas, balcones y azoteas deben tener barandillas que impidan trepar a los niños. Quita de las terrazas, balcones y azoteas todo lo que les facilite subirse a lo alto. Mientras los niños sean pequeños es aconsejable colocar rejas en las ventanas para evitar caídas.

This is a very juicy song for a good old pronunciation polishing. You can practice reading the lyrics following the slow lullaby mood of the music. The aim of the exercise is to parrot the voices of the three artists' murmuring voices.

Here you have two versions of the same song. The first link will get you the official video for the song poems. The second is a live performance of the same song. The third link will enable you to have a look at the lyrics.
