Act safely when it matters: First aid for families in Gelsenkirchen
A swallowed piece of food, a fall, or a burn can quickly unsettle families in everyday life. In the parent-child program First Aid for Infants and Toddlers, parents and caregivers will learn essential basics for typical childhood emergencies on November 6, 2026 – clearly explained, relatable to everyday life, and with space for voluntary practical exercises.
Calmly recognizing and correctly assessing childhood emergencies
An experienced paramedic will inform about what to consider in cases of choking, burns, poisoning, insect stings, and falls. The event will also focus on when a childhood emergency occurs and how adults can remain calm in a stressful situation.
Important techniques for babies and toddlers
Participants will gain insights into the use of the Heimlich maneuver for children, as well as resuscitation and ventilation for children and infants. Additionally, the discussion will cover allergic reactions and safe handling of suitable immediate measures in family life.
Practical learning for increased confidence in action
The voluntary practical exercises transform important information into a tangible learning experience. Parents can follow processes, ask questions, and apply their knowledge appropriately to typical situations with babies and toddlers. This strengthens confidence in action and creates a valuable foundation for protecting child development.
A family experience with sustainable learning fun
A familiar environment is created in the municipal day-care facility for shared time and focused learning. Instead of laughter and play, this time the focus will be on prevention, safety, and practical family education – important topics that sustainably support parents in their daily lives.
Conclusion: Families can expect a free, informative, and practical offer regarding first aid for infants and toddlers. Those who wish to act more confidently in emergencies and take valuable knowledge into family life will experience an important learning opportunity on site.
