Do not allow young children to play with small objects for children younger than 3 years should be a minimum of 1 1/4 inches in diameter 2. When the child is about 2 years old. teach them not to hold objects in their mouths 3 A childs chewing skills dev elop about the age of 4 years Until then avoid giving them chew able tablets or foods that are hard and smooth or round and smooth that require chewing Common foods to avoid include hard pieces of fruits and vegetables, such as raw carrots, peanuts, popcorn, grapes, and holdogs Ifthechild is >oungcr lhan 3 years you or another adult should superv ise them while the> eat 4. Do not give young children coins as rewards or play iicms 5 Help children to avoid polling large pieces of food m their mouths Cut or break food into bite size pieces and encourage them lo chew their food thoroughly 6 Encouragechildren to sit without talking while eating food or candv Excitement or activity can predispose a child to choking episodes T Keep safety pinsclosedandawav from children 8 Be aw are of small objects around the house that children can choke on These include small toy s, bolts, screws. nails. earrings, and above all rubber balloons Do not allow your child to blow upa balloon unless vouor another adult is supervising him/her Once a balloon is popped, discard it immediately j V Purchase only age appropriate toys.
