Knowing CPR is such a vital skill, even for kids!

CPR, or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, is a temporary procedure that can be used to maintain some blood flow to the brain, heart, and other vital organs until trained medical personnel are available to provide more advanced treatment.
This skill is taught to individuals to be able to assist people in distress and often many parents learn it when they have kids. But now a new kit is offered schools that is focusing on children learning this lifesaving skill, which is great demographic to target. As the kids learn CPR in school, they can then go home and teach it to their families, and this will make the whole family better able to handle a situation that could require CPR.
I think this is a great lesson to teach the kids and the whole family!
