Children, particularly those aged 1 to 5, often put objects in their mouth. This is a normal part of how they explore the world.
Some small objects, such as marbles, beads, and button batteries, are just the right size to get stuck in a child’s airway and cause choking.
The best way to avoid this is to make sure that small objects like these are kept out of your child’s reach.
