I love to run, jump, and climb. Watch me when I’m active so I don’t get hurt.
I like to explore. I open doors and drawers to see what’s inside. Let me learn, but keep me safe.
Please DON’T give me foods I could choke on like whole nuts, whole grapes, seeds, hot dogs, or hard candies.
I need check-ups and shots to stay healthy. I should visit the doctor at 18 months and 2 years.
If I haven’t seen the dentist yet, make my first appointment. Help me to brush my teeth twice a day. Ask my dentist how to keep my teeth healthy.
I want to interact with the people around me. My pediatrician recommends less than one hour of any type of screen time all day long.
