First Aid for Infants and Children: Home, School, and Everyday Emergencies is a practical Health course in First aid that helps parents, caregivers, teachers, and babysitters respond with calm, clear decisions when a child is sick or injured. This ebook-style learning experience builds a pediatric first aid mindset, showing how to assess quickly, communicate by age, and choose safe next steps at home, at school, or on the go.

You will learn how to spot danger early with rapid checks, understand limits, and decide when to call emergency services. The course guides you through age-specific assessment from newborns to early teens, including choking prevention and safer feeding habits, plus the right choking response techniques for infants, children, and teens. You will also gain confidence with infant and child CPR basics and learn how an AED fits into an emergency response.

Beyond urgent emergencies, the course supports everyday decision making for common pediatric health concerns. You will practice recognizing red flags for fever, hydration issues, and dehydration, and you will understand action steps for allergic reactions and anaphylaxis. Real-world guidance covers asthma attacks with inhaler and spacer support, seizure safety including febrile seizures, and what to watch for after head injuries and possible concussion in home and school settings.

You will also learn practical care for burns and scalds, poisoning and ingestion hazards, drowning and near-drowning priorities, and how to manage nosebleeds and dental injuries with tooth-saving steps. For injuries like fractures, sprains, and suspected spinal injuries, the focus stays on stabilizing safely and knowing when to seek urgent care. Scenario walkthroughs and quick-reference warning sign tables help you apply pediatric first aid skills under pressure without guessing.

To make your preparation complete, the course shows how to build and maintain a pediatric first aid kit, keep medication safety top of mind, and safety-proof spaces by developmental stage using environmental risk checks. You will also create caregiver action plans, emergency contact sheets, and allergy or medication logs that help families and schools coordinate fast.
