Care for
Children First Aid Course's
If you interact regularly with
children or are a parent you know that accidents happen.
Fortunately, most often these incidents are insignificant,
resulting in simple scrapes and bruises.
Children and parents generally
accept that minor injuries and illnesses are part of growing up.
However, there are times when children suffer from significant
medical problems. Automobile accidents, serious falls, choking,
serious bleeding, near drowning, poising and allergic reactions
can be very frightening and devastating for children, parent and
rescuers alike. 
By becoming an Emergency Responder
and learning how to handle situations involving injured or ill
children, your are empowered to make a difference. You can’t
control all the variables, but you can offer assistance that may
improve a child’s chances of a positive recovery. If you are
willing to jump in and help, you become an important link
between the problem’s onset and the arrival of professional
medical personnel. Again you can’t guarantee the final outcome,
but you’ll know that you did all that could be done.
As you’ll learn throughout this
course, emergency procedures are as easy as remembering your
ABCD’s. By approaching each medical emergency following the same
steps in the same order, you can provide basic life support in
the correct priority of care.
These steps are consistent with the
prorates used by medical professionals. For life-threatening
emergencies, your quick action can start a child down the road
to recovery and make for a smooth transition to professional
care. 
In the Emergency First Response
Care for Children course you’ll also learn how to deal with
injuries and illnesses that are not immediately
life-threatening. You always start with the ABCD’s to ensure
there’s no imminent threat, then go on to provide secondary care
that reassures and reduces the risk of further harm.
The steps for this follow up care
can help you determine whether professional medical treatment is
necessary, or if basic first aid will solve the problem.
Sometimes, secondary care is as simple as properly bandaging a
wound and sending the child back out to play.
