Summary: Early childhood is a special time for both kids and parents. It is widely held that during the first few years of a person’s life, some of the most important physical and emotional aspects of development are set in place. Young children are dependent upon their mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, and grandparents to meet their needs during this time. To grow into healthy, happy adults, kids require many things, including safe surroundings, a good diet, peer interaction, a variety of experiences, and someone to take care of them when they’re not feeling good.

In this free parents’ guide to child health and safety, learn some of the most basic things you’ll need to know to take good care of your young children, as well as what you should expect from school and daycare providers while they have your kids. Our expert will walk you through some basic lessons, including general safety tips for home and daycare, how to choose a child care facility, what to feed the kids, why immunizations are important, when to keep your sick child home from school, and most important...how to properly dispose of dirty diapers.
