If at all possible, fence in permanent pools and install self locking gates with latches out of reach for little hands. Even if your child has had swimming lessons or is wearing a life jacket, she needs you nearby watching.
Many plants can be poisonous.
Obtain information from library books or your local Cooperative Extension Service and remove poisonous plants from your child's reach. If your child does eat a plant, remove any pieces from his mouth then call a poison control center for further directions. Make sure that children are not around when using these products. Keep children away from areas where these products have been used for a period of several days. Keep a close eye on beginning walkers to prevent falls.
