When my child puts things in their mouth right away

Checking things with the mouth is a natural way of exploring at this stage. Rather than making them stop, provide materials that are safe to mouth (rice dough, washable toys, etc.) and let them explore to their heart's content. Just be thorough about keeping anything of a choking size (about 39 mm in diameter or smaller) out of reach.
