Answer to Question 2

C
Toddlers may choke if they are too active while they are eating or if they do not chew foods properly. Therefore, sitting down while eating and chewing foods well can help prevent choking. Drinking plenty of fluids with meals will not necessarily prevent choking. Conversation should be encouraged during meals to help create a relaxed family atmosphere and to slow the pace of eating. Eating with utensils rather than fingers is not related to a risk of choking.
