Stay Prepared and Ready to Respond with a First Aid Training Course for New Parents in Your Home
Becoming a new parent is a momentous occasion in life, one fraught with stress but also with immeasurable amounts of joy. It is hard to quantify or even to describe the amount of love we feel towards our children, just as it is difficult to explain our overpowering drive to protect them. That protective urge is often why many new parents worry over every little thing their child does or does not do; it's a natural part of raising a child. However, the world can be a dangerous place, and there are hazards out there that every child can and will face. Sometimes, encounters with those hazards can lead to an emergency.
Do you know what to do if your child begins to choke on food? What if they mistakenly burn themselves by touching a hot surface, or suffer a serious laceration after a slip and fall? These are all scenarios which could present themselves and may be serious enough to require calling an ambulance. It’s that time in between the injury and the arrival of paramedics that can be most important for your child. Knowing what to do can make a difference. With the help of first aid training for parentsfrom Kids First Aid, you can face every day with confidence in your ability to respond appropriately to the most common emergencies that might occur. What can you experience and learn in our courses?
What Will You Learn in a First Aid Course for New Parents?
A critical factor in what makes our service unique is that every first aid course for parents we deliver is provided by real trained and licensed paramedics. These individuals are not only very knowledgeable about first aid responses (it is their job, after all) but they also have a wealth of experience to share with you and the others in your friend or family group that attend the course. By relating the advice we share to real-world stories, understanding how to react and respond becomes much easier. For example, when discussing the risks of drowning which may be present around a home, the paramedic providing your course may relate a story in which they saw a parent's first response make a difference in the outcome.
Kids First Aid can provide lessons in the privacy and comfort of your own home, and each course gives you uninterrupted access to a paramedic for a three-hour session. During this time, we cover all the most common emergencies new parents may encounter, with ten topics in total. We encourage you to invite any of those in your personal circle who may spend time around your child to come and learn about these specific tactics.

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.
