Every year in the United States, approximately 8,000 families lose a child. That's nearly one child per hour, and this isn't due to war, disease, or famine. Mothers and fathers are losing their children to accidental injuries-most of which can be prevented. Knowing this fact now puts the responsibility squarely back on us, the parents. This is a problem only we can fix, and that's the purpose of this book: to empower parents with knowledge and a fundamental set of life-saving skills we all should have.

Produktbeschreibung
Every year in the United States, approximately 8,000 families lose a child. That's nearly one child per hour, and this isn't due to war, disease, or famine. Mothers and fathers are losing their children to accidental injuries-most of which can be prevented. Knowing this fact now puts the responsibility squarely back on us, the parents. This is a problem only we can fix, and that's the purpose of this book: to empower parents with knowledge and a fundamental set of life-saving skills we all should have. Author Mark Wilhelmsson lived every parent's worst nightmare when he found his toddler-son choking and unable to breathe. Panicked and with no training, Mark could only watch helplessly as his son tried to clear the blockage on his own. Amazingly, young Markus was able to cough it up on his own, but thousands of parents every year do not get so lucky. Now a certified CPR instructor by the American Red Cross, Mark shares exactly what every parent needs to do and learn to keep their kids safe, from developing and practicing a fire escape plan to using a portable defibrillator and, of course, rescuing a choking child. More than just an emergency first aid manual, Wilhelmsson presents detailed steps on performing CPR and AED use. Each chapter covers a specific skill and preparedness lesson, including the prevention of that mysterious silent killer, SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). These are not fringe skills to be left to first responders and medical personnel; these are the foundational parenting skills that every child should be guarded by. This book was written primarily for expecting and new parents with children under the age of five; however, what you'll learn in this book can help protect and keep your entire family safe. You'll also learn why parents shouldn't rely on 911 or emergency services to save their children, why everything can be "Googled," but not everything should be "Googled" and SO much more! Visit www.OurChildsKeeper.com for additional resources, including an unlimited, all-access family pass to our life-saving skills training program and online community.
Autorenporträt
Mark Wilhelmsson is the Founder and President of Our Child's Keeper (www.ourchildskeeper.com), a growing online community, master class, and resource library on child safety for parents and caregivers. The father of four, Wilhelmsson dedicated his life to child safety after his son survived a harrowing choking incident. His life message to parents is that acquiring a fundamental set of life-saving skills and knowledge is their first and highest responsibility. Wilhelmsson says, "As a Certified CPR, AED, and First Aid Instructor, I wanted to write the book that truly helps us deliver on the promise we inherently make as parents when deciding to bring a baby into this world: that we'll do whatever it takes and commit to learning how to protect and keep them safe. With the average response time of 911 at over 10 minutes, it's clear that we simply can't rely on others, luck, or even 911 and emergency services. I believe parents need to learn how to become self-reliant in emergency situations. They need to know how to save their own children's lives." Wilhelmsson launched Our Child's Keeper to provide parents the resources they need to respond to any life-threatening situation their kids may face, producing a robust video master class presented by notable experts in child safety and emergency medicine, and a corresponding Amazon Alexa Skill as an in-the-moment resource. To ensure an accurate, in-depth, and thorough treatment of every applicable skill-and to fulfill his responsibility to his own children-Wilhelmsson acquired certification in Infant, Child, and Adult CPR along with Anaphylaxis and Epinephrin Auto-Injector certification, is an AED and First Aid Certified Instructor through the American Red Cross, and an American Red Cross Water Safety Ambassador.
