Walk well and start to run. Like to throw balls, pull toys along the ground, and scribble. Start to give kisses but may still be afraid of strangers. Like to make their own decisions and may have tantrums. Before bathing your toddler, check the water temperature with your wrist.
Toddlers can drown in a small amount of water.
Never leave your toddler alone in a bathtub. Never leave your toddler on a high place like a changing table, sofa, or kitchen counter. Don't let anyone smoke around your toddler. Always keep crib rails up and the mattress at the lowest setting. Change to a toddler bed if he climbs out of the crib.
