Teaching children about safety and how to not get hurt is a never ending battle for parents. Parents are responsible for teaching so much to their kids, and sometimes teaching them how to respond to an emergency can be overwhelming. One way to make this task seem more manageable is to go over the contents of the household emergency response kit. First aid supplies are fascinating to kids, and they are often eager to learn how they are each used. Show your kid how to clean a wound with soap and water and antiseptic. Next, show them how much antibiotic ointment should be applied to a small wound. Finally, show them how a bandage should be applied. Instead of playing doctor, your kids will be learning a valuable lesson that will serve them well in the event of emergency. You hope something bad doesn’t happen, but at least you can try to prepare for it.
