Keep kids from choking hazards
Young children are prone to choking. To help prevent choking and its complication, The Nemours Foundation mentions these safety precautions to help reduce youngsters' risk of choking:
• Don't give small children foods such as whole grapes or hot dogs, nuts, raw carrots, popcorn, spoonfuls of peanut butter or candies that are hard or chewy.
• Carefully cut children's food into small bites.
• Keep small toys and household items â€" including deflated balloons, coins, beads and batteries â€" away from young children.
• Offer your child only age-appropriate toys.
• Inspect toys to make sure they do not have small parts that can break off.
