婴儿和幼儿是自然探险家。你有没有想过,“那个孩子没有恐惧!”?你可能是对的:婴儿和幼儿不承认情况下的危险。他们挑战他们的发展中国家和思想。您必须准备回应一系列伤害。有些伤害需要清洁和包扎。其他伤病需要立即进行医疗。您必须能够讲述两者之间的差异。在任何情况下,您必须准备好回应。考虑以下例子:
您的设施和教室旨在最大限度地减少发生事故时的风险。例如,正确检查的游乐场设备和缓冲的秋季区域使孩子不太可能在坠落的落后会受到严重伤害。您所教导的安全规则使其不太可能的儿童将以高速彼此碰撞。尽管如此,即使在最好的情况下,事故也会发生。您必须准备好对大而小的伤害行事。
有些伤害很小,只需要轻微的急救。例如,当Dante皮革膝盖时,他的照顾者可能会通过清洁伤口,涂抹绷带并完成事件报告来响应。丹特能够继续玩。
Other injuries are serious but not life threatening. For example, Madison may need medical treatment for her injuries, but she is not likely to face permanent disability or death.

For example, Luke's accident with a moving vehicle, Luis' ingestion of pills, and Millie's choking could all result in serious injury or death.

You must know what resources are available for helping an injured child. Depending on the severity of the injury, you can:
