Food and Drink Safety- ensure burners are turned off after using, keep children and animals away from the oven or stovetop when cooking, and always have hold of any alcoholic beverages to ensure children and pets aren't handling them.
Choosing Safe Toys- avoid choking hazards for young children, batteries may also be a choking hazard and can be very dangerous if consumed, and ensure your child has a helmet if buying them a bike, scooter, etc.
