How to heat my home during a power outage?

get the kerosene heater and a baby play yard.... put the heater inside the play yard 'fence' to keep the little one away from it......actually, any kind of non combustible fence will work... like a dog kennel, etc..... just keep the heater in the center of the room/house and the fence around it.....find out exactly how to use it, fill it, clean it, etc.... and NEVER refill a hot one!!!!.... don't sleep with it going, either.... warm up the house first, get under the covers, and then jump back out and turn it off!.... be the first one up in the morning to start it up again.....

Kerosene or propane heater,,, but with a child on the lose, ouch , i'd be leary.

I like the generator thing, but who will tend to it whilest your at work during the day? unless you got one big enough to last for several hours on one tank of fuel,

buy a generator, sit it outside on your porch, and plug an electric heater to it.....if you move, the generator goes with you.....but they are expensive, but after last winter in WV, they are worth it!
