Hi! First you ensure that the scene is safe then you check if the child is breathing and you check circulation by looking for bleeding and change of colour. 2nd you call emergency and you describe the situation. While waiting for paramedics to arrive you check if there is any bleeding on the head by moving the hair because the hair could cover the would. If you find any wound, put the dressings on the wound and hold them in place to control the bleeding. Keep providing care while waiting for paramedics to come.
