Did you know that injuries are the leading cause of death of children younger than 4 years in the UnitedStates Most of these injuries can be prevented
Often injuries happen because parents are not aware of what their children can do Children learn fast and before you know it your child will be jumping running riding a tricycle and using tools Your child is at special risk for injuries from falls drowning poisons burns and car crashes Your child doesnrsquot understand dangers or remember ldquonordquo while playing and exploring
FallsBecause your childrsquos abilities are so great now he or she will find an endless variety of dangerous situations at home and in the neighborhood
Your child can fall off play equipment out of windows down stairs off a bike or tricycle and off anything that can be climbed on Be sure the surface under play equipment is soft enough to absorb a fall Use safety-tested mats or loose-fill materials (shredded rubber sand wood chips or bark) maintained to a depth of at least 9 inches underneath play equipment Install the protective surface at least 6 feet (more for swings and slides) in all directions from the equipment
Lock the doors to any dangerous areas Use gates on stairways and install operable window guards above the first floor Fence in the play yard If your child has a serious fall or does not act normally after a fall call your doctor
Firearm HazardsChildren in homes where guns are present are in more danger of being shot by themselves their friends or family members than of being injured by an intruder It is best to keep all guns out of the home If you choose to keep a gun keep it unloaded and in a locked place with the ammunition locked separately Handguns are especially dangerous Ask if the homes where your child visits or is cared for have guns and how they are stored
BurnsThe kitchen can be a dangerous place for your child especially when you are cooking If your child is underfoot hot liquids grease and hot foods can spill on him or her and cause serious burns Find something safe for your child to do while you are cooking
Remember that kitchen appliances and other hot surfaces such as irons ovens wallheaters and outdoor grills can burn your child long after you have finished using them

2 TO 4 YEARSSafety for Your Child
(over)
If your child does get burned immediately put cold water on the burned area Keep the burned area in coldwater for a few minutes to cool it off Then cover the burn loosely with a dry bandage or clean cloth Callyour doctor for all burns To protect your child from tap water scalds the hottest temperature at the faucetshould be no more than 120˚F In many cases you can adjust your water heater
Make sure you have a working smoke alarm on every level of your home especially in furnace and sleeping areasTest the alarms every month It is best to use smoke alarms that use long-life batteries but if you do not change the batteries at least once a year
PoisoningsYour child will be able to open any drawer and climb anywhere curiosity leads Your child may swallow anythinghe or she finds Use only household products and medicines that are absolutely necessary and keep them safely capped and out of sight and reach Keep all products in their original containers
If your child does put something poisonous in his or her mouth call the Poison Help Lineimmediately Attach the Poison Help Line number (1-800-222-1222) to your phone Do not make your child vomit
And Remember Car SafetyCar crashes are the greatest danger to your childrsquos life and health The crushing forces to your childrsquos brain and body in a collision or sudden stop even at low speeds can cause injuries or death To prevent these injuries correctly USE a car safety seat EVERY TIME your child is in the car If your child weighs more than the highest weight allowed by the seat or if his or her ears come to the top of the car safety seat use a belt-positioning booster seat
The safest place for all children to ride is in the back seat In an emergency if a child must ride in the front seat move the vehicle seat back as far as it can go away from the air bag
Do not allow your child to play or ride a tricycle in the street Your child should play in a fenced yard or playground Driveways are also dangerous Walk behind your car before you back out of your driveway to be sure your child is not behind your car You may not see your child through the rearview mirror
Remember the biggest threat to your childrsquos life and health is an injury

Social and emotional milestonesImitates behavior of others especially adults and older childrenIncreasingly aware of herself as separate from othersIncreasingly enthusiastic about company of other childrenDemonstrates increasing independenceBegins to show defiant behaviorIncreasing episodes of separation anxiety toward midyear then they fade
Developmental health watchBecause each child develops at his own particular pace itrsquos impossible to tell exactly when yours will perfect a given skill Thedevelopmental milestones will give you a general idea of the changes you can expect as your child gets older but donrsquot bealarmed if he takes a slightly different course Alert your pediatrician however if he displays any of the following signs ofpossible developmental delay for this age range
Cannot walk by eighteen monthsFails to develop a mature heel-toe walking pattern after several months of walking or walks exclusively on histoesDoes not speak at least fifteen words by eighteen monthsDoes not use two-word sentences by age twoDoes not seem to know the function of common household objects (brush telephone bell fork spoon) byfifteen monthsDoes not imitate actions or words by the end of this periodDoes not follow simple instructions by age twoCannot push a wheeled toy by age two

Did you know that injuries are the leading cause of death of children younger than 4 years in the UnitedStates Most of these injuries can be prevented
Often injuries happen because parents are not aware of what their children can do Children learn fast and before you know it your child will be jumping running riding a tricycle and using tools Your child is at special risk for injuries from falls drowning poisons burns and car crashes Your child doesnrsquot understand dangers or remember ldquonordquo while playing and exploring
FallsBecause your childrsquos abilities are so great now he or she will find an endless variety of dangerous situations at home and in the neighborhood
Your child can fall off play equipment out of windows down stairs off a bike or tricycle and off anything that can be climbed on Be sure the surface under play equipment is soft enough to absorb a fall Use safety-tested mats or loose-fill materials (shredded rubber sand wood chips or bark) maintained to a depth of at least 9 inches underneath play equipment Install the protective surface at least 6 feet (more for swings and slides) in all directions from the equipment
Lock the doors to any dangerous areas Use gates on stairways and install operable window guards above the first floor Fence in the play yard If your child has a serious fall or does not act normally after a fall call your doctor
Firearm HazardsChildren in homes where guns are present are in more danger of being shot by themselves their friends or family members than of being injured by an intruder It is best to keep all guns out of the home If you choose to keep a gun keep it unloaded and in a locked place with the ammunition locked separately Handguns are especially dangerous Ask if the homes where your child visits or is cared for have guns and how they are stored
BurnsThe kitchen can be a dangerous place for your child especially when you are cooking If your child is underfoot hot liquids grease and hot foods can spill on him or her and cause serious burns Find something safe for your child to do while you are cooking
Remember that kitchen appliances and other hot surfaces such as irons ovens wallheaters and outdoor grills can burn your child long after you have finished using them

2 TO 4 YEARSSafety for Your Child
(over)
If your child does get burned immediately put cold water on the burned area Keep the burned area in coldwater for a few minutes to cool it off Then cover the burn loosely with a dry bandage or clean cloth Callyour doctor for all burns To protect your child from tap water scalds the hottest temperature at the faucetshould be no more than 120˚F In many cases you can adjust your water heater
Make sure you have a working smoke alarm on every level of your home especially in furnace and sleeping areasTest the alarms every month It is best to use smoke alarms that use long-life batteries but if you do not change the batteries at least once a year
PoisoningsYour child will be able to open any drawer and climb anywhere curiosity leads Your child may swallow anythinghe or she finds Use only household products and medicines that are absolutely necessary and keep them safely capped and out of sight and reach Keep all products in their original containers
If your child does put something poisonous in his or her mouth call the Poison Help Lineimmediately Attach the Poison Help Line number (1-800-222-1222) to your phone Do not make your child vomit
And Remember Car SafetyCar crashes are the greatest danger to your childrsquos life and health The crushing forces to your childrsquos brain and body in a collision or sudden stop even at low speeds can cause injuries or death To prevent these injuries correctly USE a car safety seat EVERY TIME your child is in the car If your child weighs more than the highest weight allowed by the seat or if his or her ears come to the top of the car safety seat use a belt-positioning booster seat
The safest place for all children to ride is in the back seat In an emergency if a child must ride in the front seat move the vehicle seat back as far as it can go away from the air bag
Do not allow your child to play or ride a tricycle in the street Your child should play in a fenced yard or playground Driveways are also dangerous Walk behind your car before you back out of your driveway to be sure your child is not behind your car You may not see your child through the rearview mirror
Remember the biggest threat to your childrsquos life and health is an injury

Ages amp Stages
What are some of the developmental milestones my childshould reach by two years of ageYour baby enters her second year and becomes a toddler crawling vigorously starting to walkeven talking a little Exploring the boundaries established by your rules and her own physicaland developmental limits will occupy much of her time for the next few years
Here are some other milestones to look for
Movement milestonesWalks alonePulls toys behind her while walkingCarries large toy or several toys while walkingBegins to runStands on tiptoeKicks a ballClimbs onto and down from furniture unassistedWalks up and down stairs holding on to support
Milestones in hand and finger skillsScribbles spontaneouslyTurns over container to pour out contentsBuilds tower of four blocks or moreMight use one hand more frequently than the other
Language milestonesPoints to object or picture when itrsquos named for himRecognizes names of familiar people objects and body partsSays several single words (by fifteen to eighteen months)Uses simple phrases (by eighteen to twenty-four months)Uses two- to four-word sentencesFollows simple instructionsRepeats words overheard in conversation

Social and emotional milestonesImitates behavior of others especially adults and older childrenIncreasingly aware of herself as separate from othersIncreasingly enthusiastic about company of other childrenDemonstrates increasing independenceBegins to show defiant behaviorIncreasing episodes of separation anxiety toward midyear then they fade
Developmental health watchBecause each child develops at his own particular pace itrsquos impossible to tell exactly when yours will perfect a given skill Thedevelopmental milestones will give you a general idea of the changes you can expect as your child gets older but donrsquot bealarmed if he takes a slightly different course Alert your pediatrician however if he displays any of the following signs ofpossible developmental delay for this age range
Cannot walk by eighteen monthsFails to develop a mature heel-toe walking pattern after several months of walking or walks exclusively on histoesDoes not speak at least fifteen words by eighteen monthsDoes not use two-word sentences by age twoDoes not seem to know the function of common household objects (brush telephone bell fork spoon) byfifteen monthsDoes not imitate actions or words by the end of this periodDoes not follow simple instructions by age twoCannot push a wheeled toy by age two

Did you know that injuries are the leading cause of death of children younger than 4 years in the UnitedStates Most of these injuries can be prevented
Often injuries happen because parents are not aware of what their children can do Children learn fast and before you know it your child will be jumping running riding a tricycle and using tools Your child is at special risk for injuries from falls drowning poisons burns and car crashes Your child doesnrsquot understand dangers or remember ldquonordquo while playing and exploring
FallsBecause your childrsquos abilities are so great now he or she will find an endless variety of dangerous situations at home and in the neighborhood
Your child can fall off play equipment out of windows down stairs off a bike or tricycle and off anything that can be climbed on Be sure the surface under play equipment is soft enough to absorb a fall Use safety-tested mats or loose-fill materials (shredded rubber sand wood chips or bark) maintained to a depth of at least 9 inches underneath play equipment Install the protective surface at least 6 feet (more for swings and slides) in all directions from the equipment
Lock the doors to any dangerous areas Use gates on stairways and install operable window guards above the first floor Fence in the play yard If your child has a serious fall or does not act normally after a fall call your doctor
Firearm HazardsChildren in homes where guns are present are in more danger of being shot by themselves their friends or family members than of being injured by an intruder It is best to keep all guns out of the home If you choose to keep a gun keep it unloaded and in a locked place with the ammunition locked separately Handguns are especially dangerous Ask if the homes where your child visits or is cared for have guns and how they are stored
BurnsThe kitchen can be a dangerous place for your child especially when you are cooking If your child is underfoot hot liquids grease and hot foods can spill on him or her and cause serious burns Find something safe for your child to do while you are cooking
Remember that kitchen appliances and other hot surfaces such as irons ovens wallheaters and outdoor grills can burn your child long after you have finished using them

2 TO 4 YEARSSafety for Your Child
(over)
If your child does get burned immediately put cold water on the burned area Keep the burned area in coldwater for a few minutes to cool it off Then cover the burn loosely with a dry bandage or clean cloth Callyour doctor for all burns To protect your child from tap water scalds the hottest temperature at the faucetshould be no more than 120˚F In many cases you can adjust your water heater
Make sure you have a working smoke alarm on every level of your home especially in furnace and sleeping areasTest the alarms every month It is best to use smoke alarms that use long-life batteries but if you do not change the batteries at least once a year
PoisoningsYour child will be able to open any drawer and climb anywhere curiosity leads Your child may swallow anythinghe or she finds Use only household products and medicines that are absolutely necessary and keep them safely capped and out of sight and reach Keep all products in their original containers
If your child does put something poisonous in his or her mouth call the Poison Help Lineimmediately Attach the Poison Help Line number (1-800-222-1222) to your phone Do not make your child vomit
And Remember Car SafetyCar crashes are the greatest danger to your childrsquos life and health The crushing forces to your childrsquos brain and body in a collision or sudden stop even at low speeds can cause injuries or death To prevent these injuries correctly USE a car safety seat EVERY TIME your child is in the car If your child weighs more than the highest weight allowed by the seat or if his or her ears come to the top of the car safety seat use a belt-positioning booster seat
The safest place for all children to ride is in the back seat In an emergency if a child must ride in the front seat move the vehicle seat back as far as it can go away from the air bag
Do not allow your child to play or ride a tricycle in the street Your child should play in a fenced yard or playground Driveways are also dangerous Walk behind your car before you back out of your driveway to be sure your child is not behind your car You may not see your child through the rearview mirror
Remember the biggest threat to your childrsquos life and health is an injury

Here are some other milestones to look for
Movement milestonesWalks alonePulls toys behind her while walkingCarries large toy or several toys while walkingBegins to runStands on tiptoeKicks a ballClimbs onto and down from furniture unassistedWalks up and down stairs holding on to support
Milestones in hand and finger skillsScribbles spontaneouslyTurns over container to pour out contentsBuilds tower of four blocks or moreMight use one hand more frequently than the other

Social and emotional milestonesImitates behavior of others especially adults and older childrenIncreasingly aware of herself as separate from othersIncreasingly enthusiastic about company of other childrenDemonstrates increasing independenceBegins to show defiant behaviorIncreasing episodes of separation anxiety toward midyear then they fade
Developmental health watchBecause each child develops at his own particular pace itrsquos impossible to tell exactly when yours will perfect a given skill Thedevelopmental milestones will give you a general idea of the changes you can expect as your child gets older but donrsquot bealarmed if he takes a slightly different course Alert your pediatrician however if he displays any of the following signs ofpossible developmental delay for this age range
Cannot walk by eighteen monthsFails to develop a mature heel-toe walking pattern after several months of walking or walks exclusively on histoesDoes not speak at least fifteen words by eighteen monthsDoes not use two-word sentences by age twoDoes not seem to know the function of common household objects (brush telephone bell fork spoon) byfifteen monthsDoes not imitate actions or words by the end of this periodDoes not follow simple instructions by age twoCannot push a wheeled toy by age two

If your child does get burned immediately put cold water on the burned area Keep the burned area in coldwater for a few minutes to cool it off Then cover the burn loosely with a dry bandage or clean cloth Callyour doctor for all burns To protect your child from tap water scalds the hottest temperature at the faucetshould be no more than 120˚F In many cases you can adjust your water heater
Make sure you have a working smoke alarm on every level of your home especially in furnace and sleeping areasTest the alarms every month It is best to use smoke alarms that use long-life batteries but if you do not change the batteries at least once a year
PoisoningsYour child will be able to open any drawer and climb anywhere curiosity leads Your child may swallow anythinghe or she finds Use only household products and medicines that are absolutely necessary and keep them safely capped and out of sight and reach Keep all products in their original containers
If your child does put something poisonous in his or her mouth call the Poison Help Lineimmediately Attach the Poison Help Line number (1-800-222-1222) to your phone Do not make your child vomit
And Remember Car SafetyCar crashes are the greatest danger to your childrsquos life and health The crushing forces to your childrsquos brain and body in a collision or sudden stop even at low speeds can cause injuries or death To prevent these injuries correctly USE a car safety seat EVERY TIME your child is in the car If your child weighs more than the highest weight allowed by the seat or if his or her ears come to the top of the car safety seat use a belt-positioning booster seat
The safest place for all children to ride is in the back seat In an emergency if a child must ride in the front seat move the vehicle seat back as far as it can go away from the air bag
Do not allow your child to play or ride a tricycle in the street Your child should play in a fenced yard or playground Driveways are also dangerous Walk behind your car before you back out of your driveway to be sure your child is not behind your car You may not see your child through the rearview mirror
Remember the biggest threat to your childrsquos life and health is an injury

Social and emotional milestonesImitates behavior of others especially adults and older childrenIncreasingly aware of herself as separate from othersIncreasingly enthusiastic about company of other childrenDemonstrates increasing independenceBegins to show defiant behaviorIncreasing episodes of separation anxiety toward midyear then they fade
Developmental health watchBecause each child develops at his own particular pace itrsquos impossible to tell exactly when yours will perfect a given skill Thedevelopmental milestones will give you a general idea of the changes you can expect as your child gets older but donrsquot bealarmed if he takes a slightly different course Alert your pediatrician however if he displays any of the following signs ofpossible developmental delay for this age range
Cannot walk by eighteen monthsFails to develop a mature heel-toe walking pattern after several months of walking or walks exclusively on histoesDoes not speak at least fifteen words by eighteen monthsDoes not use two-word sentences by age twoDoes not seem to know the function of common household objects (brush telephone bell fork spoon) byfifteen monthsDoes not imitate actions or words by the end of this periodDoes not follow simple instructions by age twoCannot push a wheeled toy by age two
