First aid for toddlers: Life -saving courses start soon!

In a world full of curiosity and urge to discover, it is crucial to be well prepared for our little ones. As is well known, toddlers put everything in the mouth - from dangerous substances to pointed objects that, in the worst case, can lead to life -threatening situations. In order to convey the right skills in emergencies, various organizations offer first aid courses, such as the AOK Bremen/Bremerhaven, which are in great demand. There are currently three new courses in Bremerhaven, which will start on June 20, July 18 and September 12th at 9 a.m. - an important opportunity to familiarize yourself with the necessary emergency measures.

Julia Kerckhoff-Panzram, an experienced instructor for first aid to the child and a child nursing nurse, emphasizes: "In our courses, the participants not only learn emergency measures, but also gain confidence." Such a course takes three hours and begins with helpful tips to secure your own home. Parents learn how to secure windows, doors and furniture to avoid accidents. In emergencies, it is of great importance to act quickly and prudently. It is advised to contact the poison emergency call on 0551 19240 or the 112 and always have the product in mind that the child may have swallowed. The entire content includes exercises on resuscitation dolls to learn the process of upper abdominal compression, cardiac pressure massage and ventilation.

important information and offers

The AOK takes over up to 30 euros of the course fees for legal guardians. Registration takes place by phone at 0471 30404560 or comfortably online via the website of the emergency anchor school. The Johanniter also offer a variety of first aid courses for children who are specially tailored to the needs of children between 3 and 11 years. In playful form, the little ones learn how to act correctly in emergency situations - including the discontinuation of an emergency call and the detection of sources of danger. The project "First aid of tomorrow" has been running under the patronage of Rolf Zuckowski since 1992 and promotes empathy and helpfulness.

accidents in children are unfortunately common and often inevitable. Therefore, it is not only important for parents, but also for grandparents and babysitters to know about basic emergency measures. Teaching in these courses includes helpful tips for the equipment and secure design of the medicine monkey, the recognition of severe emergency situations as well as life -saving immediate measures in the event of respiratory arrest or unconsciousness. Another aspect is emotional help to support children in emergency situations and to help them as soon as possible.

conclusion and outlook

With a solid knowledge of first aid measures, not only your own home will result in more secure, but also a valuable feeling of security for everyone involved. Whether in Bremerhaven with the courses of the AOK, the offers of the Johanniter or the Maltese, the possibilities are diverse and great. Dare to attend a course and have been prepared for everything - because, what is the name of it? Prevention is better than healing!
