My Kids’ Basic First Aid Lesson

I do think it’s important for kids to learn or at least have an idea what to do when there’s 🚨 emergency, when the adult at home is not responsive 😵‍💫 , when they NEED HELP 🆘

Many might thought I’m overthinking, but hey, sometimes I’m not home and it’s just kids and helper, what if my helper is on the floor unconscious? Do your kids know what to do? I know mine don’t, until now, after they’ve learn to.

Super grateful to have found the BEST First Aid in Hong Kong ! Of course they aren’t the Red Cross or St Johns, but they offered basic course for young kids and if you have at least 2, they are willing to come to your designated place (eg at home).

My kids now know the protocol for emergency :

1. Check if the person on ground is breathing

2. Call the emergency services and intercom the security

3. Carrying out CPR only if the person is not breathing

4. Signal and knowledge on choking and what to do

5. How to handle burnt fingers or hot water pouring over one’s body

6. What to do when there’s a cut

7. Simple bandage and triangular bandage for fractures

Of course, if you can teach your kids at home, I’m pretty sure many parents have the knowledge of it. But if you would like a professional to teach them like I do, you could find one now ☝️

The course is just a 1.5 hours, conducted in English. I know they do it in Cantonese but that requires special arrangements.

High Island Reservoir East Dam (萬宜水庫東壩)

A couple of months ago, I planned on an easy scenery walk with kids and their friends. We left home right after school, only managed to grab a bite on the way to Sai Kung. There are plenty of hiking trails waiting for us in Sai Kung but this time, we go for the easiest route, just a short visit to the East Dam. It’s a reservoir formed in 1978, known for the volcanic rock columns and anchor shape sea barrier(錨形防波提), a breakwater. There’s public toilets right at the entrance to High Land Reservoir East Dam, along there’s information on volcanic rocks and pavilion. It’s concrete or asphalt pavements all the way down to the sea cave which is proof of coastal erosion (海蝕洞). On your way down to the breakwater, there’s a gigantic wall of volcanic rocks, which is the hexagonal rocks columns! Its a 140 millions year old volcanic history. Along the way you passed the road with sea barrier (my suggestion is to spend time here on your way out), hexagonal volcanic rocks on your right a...

Tips: Hiking

Hiking with kids can be tough but we did it anyway, because it’s one of the best way to show kids the right way to care and love the nature. Of course, there are times where kids get worn out, feel bored or throw tantrums; but they develop new skills like observing plants and livings in nature, experience independence and trained physiques when they spend time outdoors. However, heading into the nature with children requires some planning and prep; 1. Right clothing and gear. Layers of clothes so you could adjust for changing temperatures, weather and condition. Closed-goes shoes that fit well. Accessories like hat and sunglasses 2. Stock up your backpack. Filled up with snacks for kids (something they’ll look forward to), plenty of water, sunscreen and bug repellent. Consider to let your young children like mine (4.5yo and 3yo) bring 1 of their favourite toy if it makes them feel better about the hike. And not forget the first aid kit stock with bandage, bite an...

Amphibians or Reptiles ?

Do you know how to differentiate amphibians and reptiles? Well, we learnt that (yes, even as adult, I learnt with my kids) at the amphibian classroom held by ki2zoo Kids absolutely love the class ! They asked to have a pet gecko or snake few months back, but of course, mommy is no fan of cold-blooded pet, so I rejected 😂 Hence, they’re looking forward to this class, being able to held and pet those (in their word) “cute and adorable” little geckos and baby snakes. The 1hour 20mins class time include introducing, little quiz game for kids, picture and petting time. Kids now know that the 🥚 eggs for reptiles and amphibians are different, reptile’s is with eggshells and the latter lay eggs in water and covered in gel ; 🦎 reptiles’ skins are dry, hard and scaly while 🐸 amphibians are smooth and highly porous : and amphibians needs water in their habitat their life cycles involves that. If you’re interested, I’ve gathered some information from the organisation:...
