Standing

Your child is becoming more mobile - they are independent and they are off - into everything and anything.

Remember to lock away all poisons and medications. Lock cupboards which contain detergents and washing powders as well.

Get down to their level and look for hazards around your home. Take remedial action if needed.

From a water safety perspective this is a good time to introduce 'water play' where they can stand at the sink and play in water. 

Also, when out and about be on the lookout for water hazards.
