First Aid for Parents: Top 3 Tips Every Caregiver Should Know

You will never forget the day your little baby boy or girl first came into your life.  Your little bundle of joy. Their first cry, their first feed, their first nappy, sound or smile. Being a parent or caregiver is such a rewarding and memorable experience.  As you and your family prepare for that joy, overwhelming and unconditional love, you try so hard to protect them, maybe wrap them up in bubble wrap so that they don’t hurt themselves.   

But are you ready for that day, if ever it comes when suddenly and unexpectedly something happens to them, and they are unwell, injured or ill? What three things should you know?

1.      Learn First Aid – These courses will provide you with the education and training that will help you manage these scary and unpredictable medical emergencies in a calm and controlled way.  Book your course today, don’t delay.

2.      Prevention – Look around your house or the environment your child is in and ensure that any hazards are minimised.  Preventing injuries/illness is far better than having to deal with the consequences.

3.      What is your gut telling you – as their parent/caregiver, you will know them best.  If your gut instinct is telling you something is quite right, seek help immediately.  Don’t hesitate or delay asking for advice.
