Basic First Aid Education for kids

Basic First Aid Education for kids

Did you know... A 4-year-old can learn to treat cuts and scrapes. An 8-year-old can be taught to help a person who is choking, and studies show they're also smart enough to use automated external defibrillators when trained. Studies show a 9-year-old can learn and apply CPR. An 11-year-old can learn how to tend to bee stings, allergic reactions and burns. Maybe its time kids are taught and given the confidence to help in an emergency?

Learning a few first-aid principles does more than prepare kids for the worst: it also helps them develop their compassion, self-esteem, and sense of purpose.

I believe that first aid is a life skill that everyone can and should learn from an early age. 

We all need help at times in our lives. We all have accidents now and again and we all get hurt.

When we are injured or suddenly unwell, what we want and need is someone to help us – someone who knows what to do. First aid is all about helping people in situations like this.

It’s easier than you think, and there are simple things that you can do to help.

You can make a difference.
