In this episode of Whole-Body Health©, I chat with Amanda Kranski, EMT, firefighter, and Infant Swim Resource (ISR) instructor. Amanda is going to walk us through how to respond to emergencies like a child’s anaphylaxis with confidence and calm (we hope). We’ll get the cliffs notes version of how emergency responders train for emergencies, and how we can apply those practices in our home when our children have an emergency.
