Protecting Children from EMF Radiation

Your children are the most important to you, and protecting children from EMF radiation is important. Why? Because they’re exposed to it constantly – in many cases, even after the first few weeks after they’re born. Here are some tips and guidelines on protecting children from EMF radiation.

Why Start Now?

As mentioned in the opening, children are exposed at a very young age. Sometimes within a few weeks after birth. The problem is that this exposure grows as they get older. Not only that, but children are in a developmental stage. This is from the use of electronics like laptops, WiFi, cell phones, and more. Even power lines emit EMF radiation.

What You Can Do at Home

There are a few things you can do at home to mitigate some of the risk.

How To Get Started

First things first, gather an inventory of all your electronic devices. This includes the above mentioned things, but don’t forget things like alarm clocks and FitBut devices. Once you have an idea of where all of the EMF radiation is coming from, you can better go on to the next step.

Distance is Key

Your child should be as far away from EMF radiation as possible. This means if you keep a router near your child’s room, move it further away. The same goes with things like Bluetooth radios, electric clocks, and more.

Older children should be protected too. This means if your child has a smartphone, wired headphones help increase distance. Speaker phone does too, but that is not always feasible. But with headphones, they can keep the phone in a backpack to decrease some of the proximity.

If they are not using their phone, putting it in airplane mode helps too.

And as mentioned, keep routers as far away as possible. This also includes cordless phone base chargers, if you have those in your home.

Protecting Children

We do all we can to protect children, and protecting children from EMF radiation is important too. A few changes will help minimize some of the risk – and that’s always better than nothing at all.
