Tips to Make Popcorn & Hotdogs Safe for your Children:

Pinch kernels off prior to letting your children eat them so they don't get stuck in their throats or teeth. DO NOT use your teeth, this allows bacteria to travel from your mouth to your child's that their bodies are unable to fight.
Do NOT cut hotdogs like you normally would into quarters, because they create corks that can plug their throats and cause them to choke. Cut the in half long ways then cut them into little pieces, so they are easily swallowed.
