Exploring the environment is a normal part of child development! So much to see, smell, touch, and taste! This is especially true during fall celebrations such as Trick or Treating!
Sometimes, curiosity and exploration leads children to wander off from secure locations. It can happen at any age, but is more likely to occur in toddlerhood or if your child has been diagnosed with autism.
Learn what quick actions to take if your child wanders off during your fall celebration or at any other time!
For any questions on child safety, please call Early Care Programs at the Garrett County Health Department at 301-334-7720 or 301-895-3111.
