Safety

At this age, children should be able to run without falling, climb up and down stairs while holding a handrail, and climb on playground equipment. This is a good time to encourage them to play at neighborhood playgrounds and parks, while supervising them as they practice ball games, jumping, balance activities, and climbing.

From age two, children can also sit in a car seat facing forward.

Around age three, they can begin practicing riding bicycles and scooters, and it is essential to always ensure they wear a helmet. It is important to encourage outdoor activities in open air—whether in nature, at a neighborhood playground, or at the beach or swimming pool—while maintaining a balance with screen time. At this age, if screens are allowed, it is recommended to limit screen time to up to one hour per day, choose high-quality, age-appropriate content, watch together when possible, and avoid screens during the two hours before bedtime.

In any case, all outdoor activities, including at the sea or in a pool, must be carried out under the full supervision of a responsible adult.
