It’s Easter Time!
Easter time is here and it is such a lovely time of year. Time to spend with your families, visits out in nature where spring is in full bloom and the birds are chirping away happily.
Along with this is the joy of the Easter egg hunts and the smiles on little faces when they realise what’s been hidden.
With all the excitement it is easy to forget about the hazards that come with mini chocolates. Choking is a silent hazard. People say when things are silent with little ones around it is the time to worry and this is absolutely true with choking. When a child chokes they can not speak, they can not alert you to what’s happening and they go into a silent panic. Knowing what to do in these situations can help to save a child’s life. Below is a link to the Children Accident Prevention Trust website which has lots of information about preventing choking and also what to do if the worst was to happen.
Two main prevention techniques include…
STAY – stay with your child whenever they are eating
STILL – keep your child still when eating, this can be a difficult task but it much safer for them

We hope you all have a wonderful Easter ????
