### In the lessons

In everyday life and safety: toddlers explore by touching and putting things in their mouths, so keep small objects, button batteries, medicines and cleaning products away; use stair gates; never leave a toddler alone near water, even a bath. As an older child you can help by closing gates, picking up small toys and telling an adult if a toddler is in danger. Phrases: toddler group, a toddler's tantrum, toddler gate, from toddler to teenager.
