Many drowning tragedies are preventable; understanding where drowning happens makes it easier to prevent. According to a major study in the July 2001 issue of Pediatrics, infants are most likely to drown inside the home (in bathtubs or buckets) and toddlers are most likely to drown in swimming pools or hot tubs.

In a startling announcement in August,1999 the American Academy of Pediatrics officially recommended that children under age 2 watch no television at all. They pointed to the importance of face-to-face interactions with parents for child development.

One of the joys of parenting is finding that zone of moderate challenge for your child, and setting up fun opportunities for her to teach herself through exploration and play.

Try to stay as close as possible to your normal routine in terms of meal times and sleeping times.
