My understanding is that the safest thing to do with lead paint is leave it alone. Paint over it and keep everything in excellent shape (no peeling/cracking paint anywhere). Once you touch it you risk sending it airborne or spreading it all over the environment, including as dust or in the soil, both of which are much more likely to expose children to it.
