I'm a first-time parent. What do I need to know about child safety?

You should be aware of your child's physical and emotional development, as well as their environment. Make sure you provide them with safe toys and activities that are age appropriate. Ensure they wear the proper protective gear when playing outside, such as helmets for bicycling or skiing. Talk to them openly about stranger danger and other potential risks they may face in the world. Finally, create an open and honest communication with your child about what is going on around them, so they feel comfortable coming to you if something feels unsafe or uncomfortable.
