What to do when your kids get hurt?
As a parent everyone gets scared and worried whenever their child is hurt. You need to act fast.
So there are some fast First Aid Tips for some common accidents.
Also, teach your kids how to react when emergencies happen.

-USING A FIRST AID KIT
Always make your kids and everyone else at home aware of the place where first aid box is kept. Explain each and every item to the children and tell them it's purpose as well. Create imaginary scenarios and demonstrate them how to handle these kind of difficult situations. Let your children handle the items and use them.

-CONTROL BLEEDING
Teach your children to apply direct pressure to a wound by covering it with a cloth or towel. Tell them to cover the wound and apply direct pressure continuously. Clean it under lukewarm running water.

-BURN
Immediately hold under cool running water or apply cold wet towel until pain subsides. STOP DROP and ROLL. In case, your child's clothes catches fire, then they should be aware what to so. Tell them to stop and drop down on the ground, cover their faces with hands, and roll over and over back and forth until the flames are out.

-NOSE BLEED
If your child's nose is bleeding then ask him to sit upright, but don't tilt his/her heads back. If any tight cloth is there around the neck then loosen it.

-BROKEN BONES
Tell your children that bones can break also. Bones are living thing and have a blood supply and nerves. When bones are break, they leak out blood into surrounding tissue and cause pain. Broken bones are painful and it is better not to touch them, tell your children these important things too.


Always call for help in an emergency

The above mentioned are the immediate step to be taken when there is an accident, a child should be aware of all these tricks to reduce the injury. 
BUT do not forget to call a  doctor and get a proper treatment and medicines.
