50 words after reading the open class on children's safety and first aid

The core gain from this open class is that I finally understood that child safety is never as simple as "keeping an eye on the child", and first aid is not something that can be learned by memorizing a few formulas online.

I had watched a tutorial on the Heimlich maneuver through short videos before, and I felt that I had understood the key points of the operation. That day, I was dumbfounded when I tried it on a baby simulator. Children under 1 year old cannot be picked up and patted on the back while standing. They must be held on the arms and patted with the head down and feet high. The intensity must be controlled just enough to shake out foreign objects. If it is too heavy, it may hurt the cervical spine. If it is too light, it will be completely useless.

The class also discussed two different popularization ideas in the industry. Some experts believe that it is more effective to give priority to risk screening training for parents. After all, young children do not have stable risk judgment abilities. Some teachers believe that awareness of safety rules should be implanted in children from an early age. A two-pronged approach can truly reduce the probability of accidents. I think there's nothing wrong with either way of thinking. After all, when something happens, it's a good thing whether you can prevent it in advance or save it afterwards.

There was an incident at my neighbor's house last month. The child took out the food desiccant while the adults were cooking, took it apart and ate it. At that time, the family was so panicked that they even took it upon themselves to give the child water to induce vomiting, which in turn aggravated the burns on the esophagus. If I had listened to this kind of lesson earlier, at least I wouldn't have made such a stupid mistake.

To be honest, this kind of practical open class should really go to communities and campuses more often. Don’t wait until something really happens to make up for your knowledge. It will be too late.
