How can I tell and teach my son not to touch power plug?

I always tell him as this following sentences:

- Don't touch the plug. You will got electrical shock.
- Don't insert your fingers inside the hole. It is dangerous.
- Power plugs are not toy. You can't play with it. 

and etc.

Are what I say grammatical correct?  I don't feel what I saying sounds natural. Any comments are welcome.
Beside are no.1 and no.2  the same called 'power plug'?

Thank you.

Hi!
Very good question. Here's a link to some answers:

https://parenting.stackexchange.com/questions/369/how-can-i-stop-my-toddler-from-playing-with-electrical-outlets-and-plugs

In addition, I believe you should show him a video that explains the dangers of playing with electricity - like this one:

There are several other useful videos.

Good job! You convey your meaning well, but just need some improvement to grammar and vocabulary. Keep working at it, and you will be speaking fluently in no time!
