    Honestly this is a risk with ANY child in our care so we should have a plan in place for dealing with it either way ... aka have training in CPR and First aid, have emergency evacuation plan and drills where you practice scenarios and so forth so the kids 'know what to do' and so practicing allows you to perfect what works in a plan and what did not 'work' when put into practice.

    That said I do not know if I could care with a child who had medical needs that put them at a higher a risk of needing emergency medical care increasing the odds that it could happen to its only a matter of time until it does happen ~ kwim? I guess I would have to weigh my current group and our ability to cope with meeting those needs.

    We are working alone at that comes with risks just caring for 'normal healthy children' taking on a child with special medical conditions that could result in seizures or need of CPR and so forth it just increases the liability of said risk as you mentioned .... what if while dealing with this child's medical emergency another child gets into mischief and injuries themselves and so forth .... sometimes it is ok to say to a client 'upon reflection I am wondering if your childcare service needs might be better met with a nanny who can give undivided attention OR centre care where the front line educators have additional adult support in an emergency .... this is the great thing about the current childcare options across Canada ~ parents have CHOICE in the various models out there and how they meet varied needs
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."
