Frequently Asked Questions

Include bandages, gauze, adhesive tape, antiseptic wipes, instant cold packs, thermometer, children's pain reliever, emergency phone numbers, and any prescription medications your child needs.

Cuts longer than ½ inch, deeper than ¼ inch, with gaping edges, on the face or joints, or that won't stop bleeding after 10 minutes of direct pressure typically need medical attention for stitches.

Watch for confusion, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, sleep problems, mood changes, or memory issues. Any loss of consciousness or severe symptoms require immediate medical attention.

Supervision appropriate to your child's age and developmental level is crucial. Combine this with proper safety equipment, childproofing, and teaching safety rules as children grow.

Only move an injured child if they are in immediate danger. If you suspect neck, back, or head injury, keep them still and call emergency services. Let trained professionals handle movement.
