It’s a lot like a First Aid or CPR course (that you hope you never use!) but, is much more MEDICAL. We will discuss common health challenges that infants & children WILL experience. Most caregivers will NEVER need to do CPR , but the majority will need to manage Illness.
Many caregivers struggle to know what should be done prior to seeking supportive medical care, as well as, what Is an EMERGENCY or what can wait and be safely managed at home. Most First Aid/CPR classes cost twice as much yet don’t cover management of the most common illnesses, or when or how to give medicines to infants, or the differences between going to clinics or Emergency.
Learn how & what problems to manage at home, and, what NOT to! Gain confidence about your ability to manage common health alterations & Learn to avoid common mistakes.
