Whether you are a parent, teacher or you to tend to be around kids a lot, you need to consider getting first aid training – here’s why:

     1.       It’s important to always be prepared

Having first aid supplies and equipment on hand in your home or place of work at all times is so important. The next time your child falls and scrapes their knee, you can handle things in a confident manner and stay calm at the same time.

     2.       The difference between life and death

It may not ever come to this, but first aid could mean the difference between life and death, so don’t brush it off like it isn’t important! Accidents happen every year that include children falling in pools, etc. you could be the one to save a life if you know first aid.

     3.       Sports injuries

Playing sports is probably an important part of your child’s life. However, sports come with injuries. Rather than sitting back and letting someone else deal with it, put your first aid training to good use and you can help your own child or someone else’s child.

Children are really good at getting themselves into accidents, from broken bones to bruises – make sure you have the correct first aid supplies as well as the basics of performing first aid.
