Practice Supplies:
Baby CPR & Choking Confidence Workshop
It's Time To Prepare For Your Practice Supplies!
Yup! Even in a virtual workshop, you can practice lifesaving skills!
To prepare, you'll watch the videos taken from the Orientation Module inside Lifesaving School For Parents.
These videos explain:
- The importance of hands-on practice
- The options you have for practice supplies which include:
1. Purchase your supplies
2. Create D-I-Y (Do-It-Yourself) Supplies
3. A combination of 1 and 2
- How to purchase and/or create your supplies.
Although the Baby CPR & Choking Confidence Workshop ONLY focuses on baby lifesaving skills, so you will ONLY need baby supplies, the videos here show you options for both baby and child practice supply options, since you will need both when you gain access to Lifesaving School For Parents.
If you decide to purchase supplies, you might choose to purchase baby and child supplies together, so that you can be effective with your time and shipping costs, and be ready for your Confidence Workshop as well as Lifesaving School For Parents. This is why you will see references to both baby and child practice supplies. I want you to see the big picture!
Your next step is the read all of the information and watch all of the videos on this page, so that you are informed and can make a decision that best suits your needs and budget to be prepared for the Bundle (Confidence Workshop + Lifesaving School For Parents).

The 1 BIG CHALLENGE With Purchased Supplies For The Confidence Workshop!
