Thank you to Tiny Hearts Education for sharing this post. We talk a lot about the risks of choking in toddlers and children but this image really brings home just what can happen...

So, what are we looking at here?

THIS is a grape. Lodged in the top of a 5-year-olds airway. This little guy was lucky enough to have part of his airway open or else this situation could have ended VERY badly.

The BEST treatment for choking is prevention. Some of our top tips for choking prevention are:

🚂 Keep small objects out of reach and check toys for loose and breakable parts (hot tip: keep younger child’s toys separate from older child’s)
👀 Supervise your infant or child while they are eating
🏃‍♂️ Always remember those three important words - Sit, Chop, Chew
🙅‍♀️ Be careful not to make your child laugh while eating
🥕Cook, grate or mash hard foods or prepare your child’s food into small pieces (so if it were inhaled it would only cause a partial obstruction, not a complete obstruction) e.g
🌭 Cut sausages lengthways before cutting into half rounds
🍇 Cut grapes and cherry tomatoes in quarters
🍎 Cut fruit, vegetables and meat in thin slithers
🥜 Avoid whole nuts until your child is 4-5 years of age

Need to know what to do if your child is choking? Book onto a Mini First Aid class TODAY.

Incidents like this do not discriminate, and parents need to be empowered to know what to do in the minutes that really matter.

🚨 Head lice season is back! 🚨Let’s bust some myths
Let’s be honest, just the mention of nits can make any parent’s head start itching.
But before you start to panic, let’s bust some of the biggest myths around head lice. These are the real facts you and your family needs to know.
❌ Myth 1: Head lice only affect children with dirty hair.
✅ Reality: Head lice don’t care if hair is squeaky clean or not. They feed on blood from the scalp, not dirt. Any child (or adult!) can get them.
❌ Myth 2: Head lice can jump or fly from head to head.
✅ Reality: They can only crawl. Head lice spread through close head-to-head contact; think playtime, sleepovers, or selfies with friends.
❌ Myth 3: You can catch head lice from pets.
✅ Reality: Head lice only live on humans. Your dog, cat, or hamster isn’t to blame!
❌ Myth 4: One treatment will get rid of them instantly.
✅ Reality: Successful removal usually means a combination of careful combing and sometimes repeat treatments. Eggs (nits) can survive the first go, so a follow-up is key.
❌ Myth 5: Head lice spread through hats and bedding.
✅ Reality: This is rare. Lice don’t survive long once off the scalp, so while washing bedding may give you peace of mind, it’s not the main issue.
💚 The truth? Head lice are a normal part of school life; annoying, yes, but totally manageable. With regular checks and the right treatment, you’ll be back to itch-free cuddles in no time.
✨ Save this post to share the facts with other parents, let’s stop the stigma around head lice once and for all!

As parents, we’re used to dental checks and hearing screens, but eye health is often forgotten about.

This National Eye Health Week, we encourage you to book an eye test for your child if they are aged 3-4 years. It's free on the NHS, and the earlier problems are identified, the better the outcome for your child.

Scroll for info 💚

With Halloween approaching this is definitely worth keeping in mind.

The Hidden Risk of Fancy Dress

In 2018, Children’s Burns Trust took the issue of children’s fancy dress clothing flammability to the House of Commons, highlighting a serious but often overlooked safety risk.

Through national television and radio coverage, we raised awareness among parents, carers and policymakers of how quickly some costumes can catch fire - and the need for safer standards to protect children.

This campaign was a vital step in keeping burn prevention high on the public agenda.

Help us continue to raise awareness: https://cbtrust.org.uk/news-stories/celebrating-25-years-of-life-changing-support-and-launches-campaign-for-the-future/
