![[AD] Hands up who gets worried when their kids go outside in shorts?! My two are ALWAYS getting cuts and bumps, partly as they are fairly adventurous, but also because they are clumsy. Both have been known to trip over their own two feet and end out with ANOTHER graze or bruise!
As parents it's our job to keep them safe and help them to learn how to risk assess. But even with our best efforts they will still get cuts and bumps, but that's just a part of childhood. Fortunately we have a small first aid kit in the bag wherever we go. It contains some plasters and antiseptic wipes, plus we now have a tube of Savlon Advanced Healing Gel, which can help cuts and grazes and reduce the likelihood of scarring. I wish we had that around when my eldest rode his balance bike into a concrete pillar! He still has the little scars on his forehead, a bit like Harry Potter!
I've also taken part in an online children's First Aid Course this week. So I'm pretty confident that I can deal with most of the common childhood injuries.
Have you tried taking a kids first aid course to keep your knowledge up-to-date?
