A fifteen-month-old baby has begun to develop their own character; we should treat them with respect for their personality. They communicate very clearly what they like and dislike, want and do not want. Fear of the doctor and reacting to the doctor during examinations are also very common in these months.
The child may have foods they like and dislike. We may need to respect these preferences and avoid stubbornly insisting. An important consideration at this stage is that the child does not know how to protect themselves. Consider the danger each object at home might pose and change its location or remove it. For example, sharp-cornered coffee tables should be removed because the child could fall onto them at any moment while running. Small toys and other small objects that could be swallowed should also be removed.
The child takes our actions as an example. We should not do things in front of them that we do not want them to do; taking medicine is a prime example. If we take medicine in front of a fifteen-month-old, the baby will remember it and at the first opportunity try to swallow even a very small object that resembles medicine. This can lead to serious poisoning.
