First Aid and Fire Safety
The first day, I went over first aid for cuts. ED helped me to ‘prepare’ my arm so she wasn’t afraid (she drew on my arm with red marker and helped spread the ‘blood’). I called the older two into the room and told them I needed immediate help. LD said immediately, “Oh Ma, that’s ketchup.” Smart kids, right?! But then they got to the task at hand… putting pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding, wrapping my arm and calling 9-1-1 for help – giving their name, address and explaining what was wrong. We looked at all the various things in our first aid box and we went over where it is kept.
