Apparently, when it comes to toddlers, if you want to avoid offending them
it's best to avoid a much broader spectrum of subjects like: food, weather, clothing, books, colors, animals, physical activity, rules to games, how they are feeling... basically anything can offend a toddler.
You are never safe, pretty much. Consider yourself warned. You may offend a toddler if you...
Read on the items how You may offend a toddler, I read them on the Website listed below:
