Introduction:
As parents, we always try to make our homes safe and nurturing for our children. Yet, some everyday items we use without a second thought can quietly impact their health. From household products to food packaging, being aware of potential risks can help you protect your child while still enjoying modern conveniences.

1. Plastic Bottles and Containers

Many plastic items contain BPA or phthalates, chemicals that may interfere with hormone function. Repeated exposure has been linked to developmental and behavioral issues in children. Opt for BPA-free bottles, glass containers, or stainless steel alternatives whenever possible.

2. Nonstick Cookware

Nonstick pans often contain PTFE or PFOA, chemicals that can release toxic fumes if overheated. These fumes can irritate the respiratory system. Use ceramic, stainless steel, or cast iron cookware to reduce exposure.

3. Processed Foods and Snacks

Packaged snacks, sugary cereals, and processed foods often contain excess sugar, artificial colors, and preservatives, which may contribute to hyperactivity, obesity, and other health concerns. Encourage whole foods like fruits, vegetables, and homemade snacks.

4. Scented Products and Air Fresheners
