With everyone on the move and in a hurry it is important to stop and eat! And chew. Little children must be aware of the potential for choking. It is not enough to tell a child to sit down. There was must be an insistence. Parents are so good at not introducing potential foods that cause choking but forget we all can choke on any food.. Children think it is funny and like to run away-especially from Nana! Okay-so I am quite stern when it comes to safety issues like sitting and eating. Look at your own behaviours as a parent or grandparent-do you sit and eat? Or do you eat on the run? In the car? We all need to breath. If your airway is blocked, well no breathing no living! The other important thing to do-if able after having a baby take one of those CPR courses for babies and children. Know what to do if a child is choking! Especially your child! How to prevent choking? Small pieces. Small bites. Chew your food well. While working on prevention, why not sit down and enjoy a family time or dinner together. Usually about 15-30 minutes of your busy time. Safety is always the most important message!
