If you are thinking of having children or you all ready have them, one of the best gifts you can give your children is the gift of you knowing some basic life saving skills that anyone can perform. CPR and advanced first aid I would recommend is a must for all parents. These tools cover airway blockages, bleeds and broken bones. One of the most important skills you learn is the administration of a EPI pen for anyphalatic reaction. Its not as simple at just sticking it in the child and saving the day. There are many things you need to know before you use the EPI . If you jump the gun and over react the epienephrine in the pen can stop a childs heart it the child is not in danger from a reaction to the bee sting or peanuts. Take the training and keep updated. I have yet to respond the a dead child on a medical call, the time will come I know this....but please learn the skills so you can do something for your child or someones elses child before the Paramedics and Firefighters arrive on scene. The simple skills you will learn will help trust me....Just knowing not to move a child that has had a bad fall where they might have a back or neck injury might save them from a life in a wheelchair, most parents want to pick up the child right away after a bad bad fall, what this could do to a child is cause more injury to the spinal cord. You will gain confidence and knowledge from the training plus you could save the life of a child someday.
