With toddlers on the move in a whole new way, it’s time for families to address new dangers in their homes. Here are 3 tips to share with parents at your next visit:

1. Creating a safe space in the home can help children to practice their independence and support development.
2. Babyproofing can reduce the number of times caregivers have to yell “NO!” throughout the day.
3. Curiosity and exploration are normal parts of toddler development. Toddlers are not trying to be “naughty,” but instead learning about how the world works through their experiences.
