How Ready Are Parents to Handle Child Emergencies?

In Hungary, accidents involving children happen often. This is a big problem. When kids get hurt, the first help they get can make a huge difference. Parents are usually the first to help. But do they know what to do? A study looked at parents in Győr-Moson-Sopron county. It found that many parents lack basic first aid skills. This is worrying. Parents need to be ready to act fast in emergencies. The study also showed that parents expect schools to teach first aid. But schools often don't have enough time or resources. This leaves a big gap in children's safety.Parents should learn basic first aid. They should know how to handle cuts, burns, and choking. Simple skills can save lives. Everyone should take a first aid course. It's not just for parents. Anyone who spends time with kids should learn. The study highlights a big issue. Parents need more support. They need access to first aid training. Schools should also include first aid in their curriculum. This can help keep kids safe.
