Choking:
Have kids sit and chew their food thoroughly when eating so that they are less likely to swallow food whole.
During adult parties, make sure that nuts and other foods are quickly cleaned up and inaccessible.
Make sure that kids under four don't have access to hard, smooth foods that can block their airway like nuts, sunflower seeds, cherries, raw carrots, popcorn, etc.. Also be careful with soft foods like cheese cubes, hot dogs, and grapes. Make sure to always cut them into small pieces.
Regularly, get down on your hands and knees to inspect play areas for small choking hazards that are within grabbing range like pieces of toys, coins, balloons, balls, batteries, jewelry, etc.. Also check in couch cushions.
Frequently check toys for loose or broken parts.
Strangulation:
Make sure that all window treatment cords are tied down and that the ends are cut so that they do not end in a loop. Better yet, replace them with cordless designs.
Don't put necklaces or headbands on your infant.
Cut all drawstrings out of your child's hoods, jackets, waistbands, etc..
Don't leave babies unattended in strollers as they can become tangled in the straps and strangle themselves.
Make sure that an infant child cannot get his or her head stuck between the slats of their crib. Also make sure that mattress and bedding fits snugly.
Never tie a pacifier around your baby's neck or otherwise attach it to their clothing.
