First aid for children

A practical course for parents on giving first aid to children. What should you do if a child is choking? How should you act after a fall or a blow to the head? When is a high temperature really dangerous? How can you help in cases of convulsions, burns, drowning or an anaphylactic reaction? In an emergency it is not enough for a parent to know the theory; they must quickly assess the child's condition and know the order of actions. This is exactly what the Beebiabi practical course is about.

We cover situations parents may face at home, on a walk, on a trip or during a child's illness: how to assess a young child's condition and recognise danger signs; falls and head injuries; burns and situations that need medical help; choking and the action sequence if a child is choking; what to do in anaphylaxis; what to do in drowning; high temperature; febrile convulsions; dehydration. A separate part is devoted to hands-on skills and working through the algorithms on a doll-manikin. Every participant receives Beebiabi's author's reference cards, worth €15. Fee: 1 participant €45, 2 participants €80. The course is run by Jana Lorens, a children's nurse and first-aid instructor, founder of Beebiabi. Date: 12 November 2026. Venue: Zebra Space, Päevalille 6, Tallinn. Places are limited so that everyone gets enough time for the practical part.
