Little Kids (1 to 4 years old)

This is what you need to know about me

I’m doing more things on my own now and I love to explore.

I can move faster and have lots of energy so you’ll need to be one step ahead of me at all times.

I’m still very curious but don’t understand risks and dangers well. 

I can do more and more each day, but I don’t understand why some things are off-limits.

 

Did you know…?

  • I imitate older playmates and adults, meaning I will try things that are beyond my physical abilities.
  • I’m still developing my balancing and climbing skills.
  • I am likely to lose my balance and fall because I’m top-heavy.
  • I need supervision—all the time.
  • I breathe very fast because my lungs are small and still developing.
  • I can inhale harmful gasses very quickly.
  • My skin can burn faster than an adult’s because it’s thinner and more sensitive.
  • I like playing with matches, lighters and other heat sources and I don’t understand that fire can be dangerous.
  • I may still need to be rear-facing in my car seat.
