You have to lock EVERYTHING up. They make small locks you can install on kitchen/bathroom cabinets and drawers. They look like the locks you see on a filing cabinet. Change all closets to key locks. Lock all doors when not in use. If you walk into the living room you should see couch, table, tv. No lamps, pillows, blankets, or other items that can be thrown or used to hurt themselves. Eliminate everything. In the dining room a table and chairs. Kitchen a table and chairs. Literally nothing is accessible without a key. You might even consider locking all but 1 bathroom. I’ve seen kids rip toilets out of the floor, depending on what you need consider everything. You can get covers for wall tvs that prevent them from being broken. Take away all mirror’s and replace with plastic mirrors, no pictures or picture frames. You can use those wall stickers for decoration. Door alarms or internal deadbolts. Windows alarms or bolted shut. Think of it as nothing is safe if it can be thrown. Buy heavy duty furniture keep it minimal. This is the kind of furniture I’d get:

Minus the pillows, curtains, pictures, etc. “this end up “ Company makes it. You can’t rip the cushions and you can’t flip the furniture (you’d have to be very strong). Also waterproof if they throw something. They make beds, dressers, dining sets, etc[/quote]
