The whims and
l ways of a toddler
are strange indeed. There’s a dec-
laration of independence one min-
ute - a plaintive call for help the
next. As guardian angel of that little
go-getter, it's up to you to decide
when to guide and when to let the
help-yourself rule prevail. Some-
times takes a bit of doing, but with
patience, perception and a full quota
of common sense you'll manage.

Sip tips. Toddlers can often be en-
couraged to drink more milk if you:
(1) Use an amusing mug or paper
cup. (2) Let him sip milk from a
brightly colored cellophane straw.
Safety measures.

ond nature to a

derful spot to
whet that curiosity

Safety reminders:
• Use back burners first. Turn
pot handles inward. Cover
epattering grease.
• Don’t leave matches, knives
or scissors near edge of work-
ing area.
