Welcome to the first episode of On the Couch with Cindy, a new long-form video series from Bowwood Baby Clinic.
In this series, Cindy Homewood sits down with the trusted professionals, specialists and organisations who work alongside Bowwood Baby Clinic to support parents, babies and young children.
In this episode, Cindy speaks to Charlene van Tonder, owner and lead facilitator of Safe Kids about the importance of Infant and Child CPR, Choking and Basic First Aid training.
Their conversation explores why these practical skills are invaluable for anyone responsible for the care of a baby, toddler or child – including parents, grandparents, nannies, au pairs, babysitters, teachers and other caregivers.
Safe Kids’ hands-on courses help participants learn how to recognise and respond to emergencies, practise CPR and choking techniques, and understand current best practice for managing common first aid situations involving infants and children.
Knowing what to do in an emergency can help caregivers respond with greater confidence when every second matters.
Safe Kids courses are regularly hosted in the welcoming lounge at Bowwood Baby Clinic in Claremont, Cape Town.
