As toddlers become more mobile, safety concerns shift. Parents can ensure safety by:
- Childproofing the home: Use safety gates, outlet covers, and cabinet locks. - Supervising outdoor play: Ensure the play area is safe and free of hazards. - Water safety: Never leave toddlers unattended near water, including bathtubs, pools, and even buckets of water. - Poison control: Keep hazardous substances like medications, cleaning products, and certain plants out of reach.
