Do You Know How to Revive Your Child? Learn the Most Important Steps with a Baby First Aid Course
CPR is one of the most important skills any person can learn; while the opportunity to put it into practice may never arise, knowing how to save a life is very valuable. That's true enough when you wonder about encountering someone choking on food in a restaurant, but what about when you're a parent? Choking and drowning hazards specific to children aren't uncommon and understanding what to do in an emergency is essential. Of course, you want to keep your child safe from these threats in the first place, but that isn't always possible. By equipping yourself to carry out child revive first aid at the first sign of trouble, you can leap into action during an emergency.
The knowledge of what to do is powerful. When unexpected situations develop, it is all too easy to freeze up or even panic because you can't decide quickly enough what action to take. At Kids First Aid, we've designed our private, in-home lessons to help equip you with everything you need to know about performing CPR on even very young children. Delivered by real accredited paramedics, our sessions are filled with practical advice. Take a moment to consider the difference in the service we offer, and how we can help you — and your family members or friends — learn how to keep your child as safe as possible.
Learning Child Revive Techniques in a Calm, Controlled Environment
Understanding how and when to use your skills to revive a child with CPR is just as important as knowing how to do it without harming the child. Each of the courses are taught by registered paramedics, and as such, you can query them about the many real-world situations in which you might need to leap into action. Because this is not an accredited baby first aid course, there is no formal examination at the end of the lesson. However, this allows us to fit everything necessary into a three-hour session. With no pressure to study and pass a test, you and other attendees can remain focused on engaging with the paramedic.
It’s the perfect time to ask questions. If there’s anything you ever wondered about child revivescenarios, you can tap into an accredited professional's experience and understanding to find the answer you need. For example, perhaps you aren't sure precisely what to do in a choking situation. Now you can find out what's important to know.

What attendees are saying about these invaluable first aid workshops
About an hour ago my 2 year old daughter swallowed a 5 cent
piece and wasn't able to breathe. The look on her face was terrifying. Thankfully, you helped me be prepared and know what to do. After the 5 back blows she spluttered, wretched and must've gotten the coin out of her airway as she started breathing again. It was honestly the most terrifying thing I've been through with my kids.
Thanks again for giving me the information to be able to handle the situation.

Last month my 11 month old daughter suffered a febrial
convulsion whilst in my arms and stopped breathing. He mouth and lips went blue & purple and she had a full convulsive fit. She had a fever that rose quickly and becuase of your course, i recognised the signs of what was happening, placed her in the recovery postion on the floor till the fit stopped and called the ambulance. Although a terrifiying experience as i was home on my home own, i kept calm and felt in control knowing i had the knowledge to help me daughter through.
I thought you should know what a difference it made to me in a emergency situation. My husband had not done the course and booked it and did it straight after, as he would not have known what to do. Thank you.
My husband and I attended your recent Woollahra course
after being very scared by a choking incident with our nine month old daughter the week before. What a great course! Alan was a wonderful presenter. He had so much great hands on experience. His stories kept things lively as well as illustrated the skills we need in a way that I'll remember. I also found it invaluable how he explained the cause of different injuries/conditions and the reason a particular treatment worked.
I've been surprised this past week how such a simple investment could make me feel more confident as a parent, but it really has.

In December I took my 12 year old daughter with me to one
of your first aid courses. This was in anticipation of her babysitting for others in the next few years.
Today it paid an unexpected dividend. As she and her 11 year old brother got off the bus and crossed the road, the young woman walking in front of them collapsed.
My 11 year old instinctively put out his hand to catch her head. My daughter moved the young woman to a safer place on the road by an island and placed her in the recovery position.
She then enlisted the help of an adult asking them to call the ambulance.

We just wanted to say a big thank you for the excellent
first aid course at Crows Nest on Saturday. We found the course was very practical and helpful and thought that Craig was a fantastic presenter. Knowing of his extensive experience and hearing his stories was great but we also found him to be very clear and good at reinforcing the main points.
Our poster is up to remind us of the things covered in the course. Hopefully we won't need to use what we've learnt but it's good to feel prepared..

I was amazed at how logical and simple so many first aid steps
for various situations are! Things have changed since learning all those complicated and confusing procedures in P.E. at high school! After realising how simple (and obviously life-changing) first aid really is I cannot help but wonder why it isn't compulsory for everyone to learn first aid! The fee is peanuts when compared to the value of what is learnt.

I would definitely recommend KFA to family and friends...
this information is best presented by KFA (Paramedic)...not passed on second hand. Really informative and kept encouraging us to be proactive rather than petrified.
