How to prevent choking?

Preventing choking involves several strategies:
1. Supervision: Always supervise young children when they are eating.
2. Cutting food properly: Cut food into small, manageable pieces. For instance, grapes should be cut into quarters.
3. Age-appropriate toys: Ensure that toys are appropriate for the child's age and do not have small parts that can be swallowed.
4. Educate caregivers: All caregivers should be educated about choking hazards and the importance of keeping small objects out of reach.
5. First aid training: Caregivers should know how to perform age-appropriate first aid techniques for choking, such as the Heimlich maneuver.
