Every 5 days, a child in the United States dies from…
CHOKING ON FOOD!
What?! I feel so lucky to have never experienced this scare in my own life, but I know there are plenty of parents out there who have.
Choking is such an important thing to be aware of, and to not only know how to prevent, but also respond to, should it happen.

I one hundred percent believe that awareness is key when it comes to knowing how to respond in any emergency. Knowing some of the important statistics on choking should give you some motivation to learn not only how to prevent it from happening, but how to deal with it when it does happen.
I could keep going, but you get the idea! Shocking, right?!
If you missed my last post, I went into detail about my favorite online CPR Certification & First Aid course. This is the same company.
What I do with emergency preparedness, they do with CPR/First Aid/Choking.
They gather all the experts and important information surrounding the topic, and then they bundle it all up into consumable content for you.
It’s literally life-saving!
To be honest, I was a little less than excited to go through this course. I thought there wasn’t much more to know than the heimlich maneuver, right? WRONG!
This course is incredibly thorough, and covers things I never would have dreamed of it covering. I learned so much in this course!
Thrive Training Institute brought in 2 experts to cover the feeding and risk portions of this course, and then the CPR instructor covers the RESPONSE portion of the Choking Course.
This really is SUCH a great value and the information being taught can literally save a life one day.
I loved this course so much that I can’t NOT share this course with you!
You can sign up for the Choking Prevention & Response Course by clicking this link.
Normally this course is $97, but if you use code melanie10 at checkout, you can get $10 off.
I say with confidence that you will never regret the time and money spent when it comes to saving someone’s life.
Truly this is a phenomenal resource at a very reasonable price!
You just never know when you’ll be faced with an emergency situation. These online CPR & First Aid courses from Thrive Training will help you be prepared.
There will always be things we don’t think about before we encounter an emergency. But, I’m here to help you think about some of the non-food storage items you might want to keep on hand for the next rainy day.
Berkey water filters are THE BEST water filters, not only for emergencies, but for everyday use. They are so good, they are classified as a water purifier, which is a step up from a filter!
