Portion is the amount of food you choose to serve your children, at each snack or meal which on a nutrient fact label is a specific measured amount, the calories and nutrient information based on the serving size of a 2000 calorie diet. Some serving may not be the right portion for children, they should eat fruits, vegetables, grains, meats, protein and dairy.
    Choking hazard is any object that could be caught in a child's throat blocking their airway and making it difficult or impossible to breathe. Many children do not chew their food well, children 4 years old or younger should take extra safety measures when eating hot dogs, nuts and seeds, chunk of meat or cheese, whole grapes, hard, gooey or sticky candy, popcorn, chunk of peanut butter, raw veg, raisins, chewing gum and marshmallows. Foods should be cut into no larger than half inch, make sure children sit up right and eat instead of walking around. Do not feed children in cars because if choking the driver may not notice, when children starts to crawl around they naturally put things in their mouth, therefore, create a safe environment. Search around for small items like latex balloons, marbles, coins, toys with small parts etc. Take a CPR class to prepare yourself, you could be very helpful to someone.

And whenever preparing children food ensure that food size is one and half size so children wont choke an food that will block the airway that sends oxygen to the brain which can cause damage or death.And be sure to contact 119 if anything happen like this or attend classes that practice CPR so you will be able to help quickly if the child has swallowed any object. And this is easily avoided when you purchase a choke tube so you test for objects that are too small that can cause these incidents.
