“Children are very curious and unpredictable, and they want to experience new things from a young age. That’s why it’s very important to constantly supervise them, especially in the first years of life, when they tend to put every object they find in their mouth or nose and develop breathing problems. Look at batteries, buttons, coins, dice, jewelry, hair accessories, pens, etc. – they are completely harmless items, but in the hands of children they can become dangerous. Keep away from children’s products such as beans, corn, peas, seeds of any kind, beads, polystyrene, broken pieces of toys! Teach them to eat slowly to avoid choking! Be aware of the objects your child plays with and the toys he gets!”According to Agrepres, these are just some of the suggestions ISU offers to parents.
