If you give your attention to medicines and cleaning products, so will they. Cleaning products are a part of everyday life. Adults choose when, how much, and what cleaning product is needed. Young children cannot make such choices. Medicines are a part of everyday life.
Adults choose if and when medication is needed.
Young children cannot make such choices. Children need to know they come first. Otherwise children may attempt to get your attention with behaviors such as getting into medicines, cleaning products, and other potential poisons. They do not understand that these activities may result in injury or a life threatening situation. When caregivers provide attention and tending and have knowledge about childhood hazards, children will be less likely to arrive in the emergency room.
