Sleep
Sleep is
very important for everybody, especially the toddlers of this age. Their
activity induces sleep. It has been proved that the toddlers require about 14
hours of sleep in a day. However, there being away to the Pre-school and increased activity at home, may not allow them this luxury. If a child is
having sleep problems like encountering nightmares, due attention needs to be
given by the parents for solving it.

Safety and Security
Their safety and security are of
paramount interest. These children are overactive and can easily get into a hazardous situation because of being ignorant of the risks. These hazards can
be outside the house or even inside. Therefore, they should always be under the
watchful eyes to save them from any risks.
External risks and how to prevent them:
- Water sources: They should not be allowed to play near rivers, lakes, ponds other water bodies without any the adult being close to them. They should learn swimming to avoid drowning.
- Road crossing: They should be properly trained to cross the roads only at a zebra crossing.
- Strangers: Some evil-mongers are in the business of kidnapping the children and ask their parents for a ransom amount. The children should be trained not to trust strangers under any circumstances.
- Playgrounds: It is risky to let them play alone there. They may get hurt in the game of elder children.
Internal risks and how to prevent them:
- Taking small objects inside their mouths: Sometimes, they may get lured by some object and place it in their mouth. This may choke them instantly causing serious consequences, even death.
- Risky items: Every house is full of the items that are useful but can prove to be very risky in the hands of the children. These can be matchboxes, knives, scissors, electrical equipment, pointed objects etc. There are many poisonous substances like medicines, rat kills, acids, cleaners etc. which may be consumed by them accidentally.
- Risk of being alone: If the child is left alone in the bathroom, he or she may even drown in the bathtub. They may burn themselves with hot boiling water or fire from the stove. All the electrical points like sockets etc. should be out of their reach.
- Technical Gadgets
These days, every house is having
technical gadgets like Television, music system, mobile phones, computers and
many more. These can be good and useful for the adults but can prove to be very
harmful for the small children. As it is, these have attractions of their own
and draw the eyeballs of everyone. The children get attracted to them very
fast. However, these cause immense harm to their raw minds. They may get eyes
and ears’ problems besides mental agony watching these. The gadgets are
habit-forming and may, eventually, affect their studies in the long run.

Conclusion
Mr. and Mrs. Singh learned a great deal through these interactions about rearing their children in a proper manner. They had practically observed that Saumitra was coming out to be a very fine boy.
