Why Kids Put Things In Their Mouths
Things that threaten newborn care and safety in the household are hot, pointy, and ingestible ones. Parents have an instinct to keep hot and pointy objects out of the reach of children. But, it is just as important to keep all ingestible things out of the reach of children. Even 7-year-olds can have a habit of putting things in their mouths. Even the safe items should be kept out of reach. Kids do this because at the initial stage of their development, the mouth is the primary exploratory medium and so whatever they grab goes straight to the mouth. If you suspect your child has ingested anything toxic, do not wait for symptoms; take them to the hospital immediately.
