Teach your children First Aid!

22 April 2025/in Blog

Here is 8 yr old Alexis helping her mum keep still after falling down the stairs at home.

Do your children know what to do if you or a loved one who is looking after them has a fall, cuts themselves, is unconscious, is not breathing, how to call for an ambulance,  choking on food, bitten by a snake and many other minor and major emergencies that may happen at home?  Parents often don’t think about teaching their children first aid as they often don’t feel that they need to. But what about if you fall unconscious for a medical reason or you bump your head on some furniture and become unconscious.  The simple technique of rolling you into the recovery position and calling the ambulance may save your life.

Check out little 8 year old Alexis performing a lot of first aid skills on my Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO49Wu-VLtuFVFmATqPG1mg

Alexis loves learning first aid and showing her friends at school what she has knows. She is well prepared for emergencies such as CPR, choking, stopping bleeding, burns, snake bites, how to make 3 slings, how to hold her mum still in case of a neck injury and what is in a first aid kit.

Many first aid providers offer shortened and simple courses for younger children and it is always better to receive the proper practical training under the guidance of a professional.
