Choking prevention Choking prevention Children are very curious.
Toddlers are extremely curious as they explore their environment.
They can get into everything in your home, finding small objects that they often put in their mouths. A good rule of thumb is that if it fits in a child's mouth, it is possible to choke on it. Toddlers often pick up crumbs or bits of fluff off the floor and put them in their mouth. Check toys often for chipped or broken parts. This includes stuffed animals with plastic eyes or buttons that may become loose.
