I recently discovered a very useful parenting resource called KidsHealth which offers tons of tips and writeups on topics concerning kids and parenting.  One such example is their fine collection of Emergency Child Care sheets that you can readily print out and use:

It’s practically impossible to parent a child from infancy to adolescence without encountering a situation, be it minor or major, that requires medical attention either at home or by a health care professional. But we’ve taken the guesswork out of what to do in some common scenarios.

Check out these sheets – or print them to keep in a folder for easy access – to help you handle some common childhood emergencies and less serious, but still scary, situations…

The list at KidsHealth covers everything from Animal Bites to Vomiting.  Some of this information may already be known to you, while some aspects will be new.  But, when it comes to matters concerning your child’s safety, the most important thing is to have the right information handy, when you need it the most!

I chose to print out a few of the sheets that I thought would be more frequent in occurrence, and stick them on the home cupboard. 

Get the full list, here.  And, have a safe trip…
