Babies aged between 1.5 and 2 years are most prone to accidents, with traffic accidents, burns, and kitchen mishaps being the most common. At this stage, babies have strong walking abilities and are interested in everything around them, wanting to explore everywhere. However, they do not understand what is dangerous, so accidents are prone to happen. Babies enjoy playing on the street but do not understand traffic lights or pay attention to passing vehicles. Due to their active nature, they can easily slip out of their parents' hands and run into the middle of the road. Therefore, parents must constantly monitor their babies' movements to prevent accidents and continuously teach them about traffic safety.
Although kitchens are relatively small, they offer ample opportunities for hands-on activities and are a place for babies to try out new skills. Lifting, covering, turning, pinching, grabbing, knocking, pouring, and tasting can all be satisfied in the kitchen. However, this method of learning is dangerous due to babies' ignorance of danger, which often leads to accidents. When cooking, special attention should be paid to whether the baby is in the kitchen. Hot pots, hot water, oil, and seasonings should be placed out of the baby's reach. Also, prevent the baby from standing near parents' feet to avoid tripping them and causing hot soup to burn the baby or hot oil to splash onto the baby's head. Normally, the kitchen door should be locked to prevent the baby from entering and handling knives or bowls, which could cause injuries. All cleaning solutions are poisonous and should not be placed on the kitchen floor to prevent the baby from ingesting them. Never leave a baby alone in the kitchen.
