Aim To investigate the association between children and their families' daily life routines and the implementation of safety practices in their homes. Methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted using a self‐administered questionnaire among parents of 3‐year‐old children, who visited a public health center in Tokyo for their health checkups. Associations between the implementation of safety practices and family and children's basic daily routines were assessed using a multivariate logistic regression. Results Data from 336 parents were analyzed. Three items were found to be significantly related to the non‐implementation of safety practices, such as “television‐watching behavior: after 8:00 p.m.” (adjusted odds ratio = 1.88, p = .02), “washing hands: not every time after getting home” (adjusted odds ratio = 2.24, p = .02), and “Family Routines Inventory: lower score” (a measurement of the routinization of a family's daily life; adjusted odds ratio = .83, p = .01). Conclusion The cumulative results suggest that the lack of safety practices implementation signify nonadherence to daily routine practices by parents.
