Very Embrassing I might say. Children like to take things out of your purse . So dont carry any pens or objects that you dont want your child to get . give your baby a shoe box and let him place some of his toys in them. Most 10 to 12 month babys love to play games and explore and pour things from one to another.You can use stackable measuring cups and a large container and have a wonderful play time. now that little manny is walking , you can teach him how to roll the ball or how to kick it. Try showing him and he will follow along and you'll be surprised at how he masters this skill. playing peek-a-boo is the all time favorite. Children love it when you hide your face and then surprise . They get a kick out of that. Bathing time.. If your baby loves to play in the water be careful , most babys if they can stand tend to stand ! They dont' want to sit that's for the birds. Older babies want to stand up and splash water all over the place , even grap your hair pat the shower curtain (never leave your baby unattended in the bath not even for a second). You want to have fun , not call 911 for heavens sake. Pile up some plastic bottles and toys and watch your baby have a fun filled bath. When done with the bath drain all the toys and plastics in a collander and have ready for the nesxt bath time. Have Fun Be Well!

How to Check For Playground Safety

Parents let's check our playgrounds for safety. Following some basic safety measures can help our children have lots of fun and play safe.When checking out your neighborhood playground, make sure that it has a soft surface under the play equipment. Most playgrounds have , sand, and rubber matting. Check playground equipment before you let your child play on them. If the weather is hot out, so will equipment be hot to touch . This can cause your child to get burned.# Older children should be closely supervised when playing on the equipment from the younger one. Older children tend to be rough and don't care to much about the smaller ones. Children love to swing, swings should be made from soft and flexible material. Look over and make sure that there is no holes in the material. They have different types of swings to accommodate your child. Your child should be able to sit in a swing that has holes to put their legs into. They can use this until they are ready to sit on a standard swing. Teach your child to hold on with both hands. Never have 2 or more on the same swing. Teach your child that he should never run in front of a swing when someone is using it. There have been many accidents that have happened while not watching your child. All children love the seesaw. It's fun going up and down, but sometimes you have that child, that will jump off and have your child fly cross the playground. This also is very dangerous and can put your child in harms way. Make sure that you child has similar weight as the next child .Children love to take their bike's to the park. Does you child know anything about bicycle safety ? Teach them not to ride in the sand , or around broken glass. make sure they have a safety helmet on that is fitted. Also make sure that your children don't wear any jewelry while at play. Their clothing should be fitted properly with any strings loose and attached, this can cause injury if this should get caught in the playground equipment. also make sure that your child has his shoes tied , this will keep him from tripping over himself.
