Cian learning the kid version of the Heimlich! (Did I spell that right? lol)


Our PTA has a Hero of the Month. A "Hero" comes to school each month and teaches us about what they do. This month our hero was a nurse that teaches kids about how to help if someone is choking or unconscious. The nurse started off saying that the best thing to do if there is a problem is to get help from another grown up, but she was going to teach them somethings to do if there was no one else there to help. I was a little concerned that 1) The material was way over their heads or 2) that they could actually hurt someone but, I was really surprised at how things went. The kids were taught some really basic things to do and the main focus was to call for help by the usual means. Cian learned a lot and I was reminded of the steps too, which is always good!
