As an addition to what you're doing, get a safety breaker and test it annually. My wife, when she was 5, stuck a knitting needle in a live socket. The breaker worked, and she was fine if a little shocked. I'm a huge believer in multi-layered prevention.

Can you clarify what you mean by social intelligence? Is it just the ability to get on with people and understand social cues?

comment We're looking to get pregnant - what can we do to optimize our chances?
I'm generally agianst prescribing things for this. The entire point of your existence, biologically speaking, is to reproduce. It will work itself out easily once you step out of the way. Stop using birth control, and go on with your lives. When the body is ready, it'll happen. Don't see any professionals until 9 months have passed.

comment What can be done to help bright children stuck in a boring school?
I'll add that school is also about learning to socialize with your peers.

comment When can I cover my baby with a blanket in her crib?
@Saiboogu: That hadn't occurred to me, as the question mentioned choking specifically. It's a good point, though I think infants will occasionally wake in a panic anyway, no?
