Are your child's Christmas gifts dangerous?

Mums and dads, you are probably already starting to think about, or pick up, Christmas presents and stocking fillers for your child, so this is your friendly reminder to think about potential choking and other hazards that may be present in your child's presents!

🎁 Button batteries - these little silver disc batteries are found in lots of toys and other gadgets around your house and are highly toxic. If swallowed, they can corrode your child's throat or stomach.

🎁 Lego and other small building bricks - these are not only painful to step on, but some pieces are small enough for a baby or child to swallow, and sharp edges make them easy to get stuck in a child's windpipe.

🎁 Magnet toys - these popular toys are small and easy to swallow. They can travel to the stomach and gather together, tearing internal tissue.

🎁 Balloons - balloons and other latex items are a choking hazard if swallowed or inhaled, which can happen easily if your child is blowing a balloon or playing with burst leftover material.

🎁 Buttons & detachable parts - toys or dolls with small parts like button eyes and wheels can be dangerous as items like this can fall off or be pulled off and swallowed.

🎁 Marbles - in the same way that grapes and round foods are a hazard, so are marbles that can easily lodge in your child's airway.

This list is by no means exhaustive. We don't want to be the toy/fun police, but please take a few minutes when choosing toys or gifts for your child to think about potential risks and don't leave your child to play with a new toy on their own - check it out yourself before you hand it to your child to play with.

It’s easy to see why younger children might mistake magnets for brightly coloured sweets.

But, if swallowed, strong magnets can rip through a child’s gut, causing life-threatening injuries.
Young children are curious and they explore the world around them by putting things in their mouths.

They aren’t being ‘naughty’ when they swallow magnets. It happens by accident.

And it’s not because the adults around them aren’t looking after them properly either. Accidents can happen quickly, even when you’re nearby.

That’s why we recommend you:

⚠️ Avoid small, loose magnets if you have small children.
⚠️ Keep older children’s magnetic toys away from little children and store them in safe places

Maybe it’s not as interesting as I think 🤪 but I’m just preparing for tomorrows Teens class for a small group of young people in a secondary school in Glasgow and thought I wonder if anyone has ever thought about what’s involved before a class? 🤔

With everything sprawled out in my kitchen (soon to be in the car along with the mats) I’m cleaning, checking and preparing the kit… and this is for a small group of 10.

We put a lot into every single class and course that we run and care so much about the experience of every single one of our learners.

It’s so great to teach young people and hopefully inspire them to continue with their first aid knowledge and learning into adult.

Here’s to tomorrow 💚 ⛑️

When you think of first aid, you might picture bumps, bruises, and little cuts (which are plentiful in my house with six children!). But what about something bigger - something that can change a life in seconds, like a stroke?

Here's a topic that’s close to my heart - quite literally, my family’s heart - as my lovely dad suffered a stroke a few years ago.

I know first-hand how suddenly a stroke can strike, and how vital it is to spot the signs quickly. So today, I’m sharing a bit of our story, what I learned from it, and why stroke awareness is something everyone needs in their life-saving toolkit.
