Question from Anne
Hi Debra: Your website is my absolute favorite! Bless you for all the good work you do!
Had yet another question for you and your great blogging community. I am thinking of ripping out my carpet and installing wood floor for my very active child who has multiple allergies and sensitivities. Here’s my dilemma:
— I had bamboo floors in the past which I loved, but they
dinged easily and I had indentations all over my floor soon after they were installed.
— But the bamboo floors were not too hard on our feet, which is a good thing because I have a super active child who loves to run in circles and does occasionally trip and fall.
I’m nervous about installing a wood floor that might be too hard and potentially dangerous for my child. Yet, I’d hate to have a floor that is too soft and has tons of dents (yes, my child throws things too).
Debra’s Answer
I’m going to let some mothers answer this one. I see your dilemma–you want a soft floor for your child but one hard enough to not get dings. I just have no experience making this decision, so perhaps we can hear from some mothers who have the perfect solution.
