I give my one year old popcorn....is that okay and if a piece of the kernel get stuck in her throat should i do?

Not a good idea: Young kids shouldn't eat popcorn. It can be a choking hazard and can then accidentally end up down the windpipe, which can be life-threatening. I have treated several young toddlers with popcorn kernels end up in their airways, and it is scary for doctors and parents alike. Here are some guidelines for you: http://www.Babycenter.Com/0_foods-that-can-be-unsafe-for-your-child_1491465.Bc.
