SAFETY AND HEALTH EDUCATION

TOPIC: MEDICAL EMERGENCIES (FIRST AID)

The goal of this topic is to help the children to understand that injuries do happen and that when it does, they should seek help from adults around. In discussing this topic, the children will also be taught how to prevent injuries as well as strategies for staying safe. This will help the children to develop sense of safety.

The topic will also help them to understand why adults treat them when they get injured or when they are sick. This knowledge will help to eliminate some of their fears.

The easiest approach to introduce first aid to the children is by asking them if they had ever sustained injuries. Ask them if they have ever been hurt; allow them to discuss what happened and how it happened.

When they are done, you can then introduce the topic properly by telling them all they need to know about first aid

TOPIC: SURVIVAL STRATEGIES/ FIRST AID SKILLS

 

There are certain first aid skills children of this age are expected to know. It may seem unnecessary teaching them such skills, but they are of utmost importance because no one knows when such skill will come handy.

Children are competent to administer basic first aid skills.  Besides, some of the first aid skills are survival strategies which everybody is expected to know. Teaching children first aid skills can be fascinating if the right methods are adopted.

Rinse the burned body thoroughly with cold water to help cool the burning pain. Or, you can saturate a clean clothe with cool water and place it gently over the burned area. Do this for 15 minutes. 

After that, remove any jewelry or item of clothe from the burned area . but do not remove it if it is stuck on the skin.

There is a story of a family that was involved in an accident. All the adults were unconscious but one of the kids, a four year old was conscious and he gave the hospital all the detailed information of his parents through which the hospital contacted their family and relatives. 

The child gave out his parents’ full names, home address and phone numbers. 

These are vital information children should know.

Also, there are also cases where a child gets lost. If such a child knows this vital information, he or she can be easily re-united with his or her family through the information provided.
