Carefully supervise play. Three year olds often over-estimate their newly developed physical powers and will try things that are unsafe or beyond their capabilities especially if they are playing with four or five year olds. Always buckle up your children in the backseat. Install Electrical outlet covers that are large enough not to be a choking hazard if taken out. Install cabinet and drawer locks on locations that contain dangerous materials such as cleaning chemicals, sharp tools or appliances, medicine cabinets, etc.
Many house plants can cause illness or death.
Keep out of reach of children. Supporting Emotionally Maintain appropriate expectations for your three year old. They may revert to toddler behavior or experiment with 4-5 year old activities. Be encouraging to your child and support their developing interests. 1996 FatherWork, All rights reserved.
