Common sense! When there is a new born it's important to hold the back of the baby's neck (neck is weak) and slide the length of your arm so it covers the buttocks and the back (spine of the baby.)
Children that are just a few months old to a year should never be lifted and tossed into the air. Many people do this as the baby may giggle, but it could do neck and spinal damage. Carrying a 1 - 2 year old should be arm under the buttocks and other arm supporting the back with hand cupping the lower part of the head or the neck area. Same things for 3 - 4 year olds.
