[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just hope everyone thinks of this story when they let their kids snack on whatever in the back seat while the parents are focused on driving, or letting their little ones free range snack around the house from one of those cute little muffin tins filled with bite size snacks for easy toddler access.  
Had a 2 year old gag choke on a diced peach today because she's a shoveler and doesn't like to chew her food.  Not much I can do about it except stay on top of her and never let her eat out of my direct line of sight.  But I know that isn't a guarantee she won't choke.  Nothing is guaranteed except that accidents happen.  I'm so sorry for the family's loss and that the little guy doesn't get to live his life.  [/quote]

You are absolutely right. I've been thinking about this, too. I have let my 3yo snack in the car, and I have let her snack alone while I quickly ran upstairs to change a diaper, etc. This is a good reminder to slow down, stay safe, and focus only on eating and drinking when we are eating and drinking. It is a tragedy, and just absolutely horrible. I am so sorry for the family, the daycare staff, the families at the daycare...but I will honor the life of this little one by renewing my commitment to care and safety.
