Your first task is to verify that the indoor and outdoor environments are safe for children to play and explore. Create a plan on how you will verify that both the indoor and outdoor environments are safe. In your plan you must include the following: 1. Identify three hazards you must avoid in the two-year-old indoor environment to keep children safe. 2. Identify three hazards you must avoid in the two-year-old outdoor environment to keep children safe. 3. Identify three developmental characteristics of a two-year-old that could lead to injury. 4. Identify three examples of how you will keep the indoor and outdoor environment for two-year-olds safe. Use information from the lesson to support your position that the examples you have provided will keep two-year-old children safe.
