As each of my children were old enough to understand, I taught them how and why to call 911. Typical of my kids, two of them called “to see what would happen,” resulting in a police officer at my door. Fortunately the officers understood, explaining this happened every few months.
But what if there were a true emergency? My children would have known what to do – just like a three year old boy from New Jersey who helped to save his grandmother’s life.
Little Jaden’s mother had taught him how to call 911 just a few days before his grandmother agreed to babysit. While watching Jaden, she suffered a seizure. But Jaden knew what to do. He calmly dialed 911 and explained that his grandmother was sick.
Jaden saved his grandmother’s life. Police say if he had not called, she would not have pulled through. So take a moment to be sure your children know how to call 911. They probably won’t need this skill, but if they do, their knowledge may save a life!
