Toddler Safety Tips

• Use the back burners of the stove when cooking to reduce the chance of a child reaching out and burning their hand, or pulling a pan off the stove.
• If you are cleaning, do not leave cleaning supplies on a table or counter where a toddler could grab them. Return all cleaning supplies to a locked cabinet when you are done using them.
• In the kitchen, keep electrical cords attached to appliances out of reach.
• Do not leave cups or glasses of extremely hot liquids sitting unguarded on tables or counters.
• Dispose of all plastic grocery bags immediately.
• Always check bathwater temperature before putting a child in the tub.
• Never leave a toddler unattended in the bathtub.
