Kidz Home Alone

Hi, it's me, Skye, and I am starting to feel better about being home alone. I wonder what I'll be able to do while I am home alone... Before we start Part 2, let's review some details...

Food & Eating

Always delicious, sometimes unsafe

Food & Eating

One activity you might not think about as being dangerous is eating. While you are home alone, there can be a possibility of choking. How do you deal with that by yourself? Well, this is Skye's freind, Roderick, who is very nervous about choking. Lucky for him, this section will walk through what causes choking, common choking hazard foods, the self-Heimlich manuever, and when to call 911.

Choking Hazards

+inf

There are two "pipes" in the human throat. When humans eat food, the teeth chew it up, and the tongue works to swallow the food and move it down the esophagus, or food pipe.

Why, hello! I am Dr. Yance, Skye's neighbor, and allow me to explain about what causes choking with a quick anatomy lesson...

Food & Eating

The second "pipe" in a human's throat helps them get air to their lungs, and that is the trachea, or wind pipe.

Sometimes, the epiglotus doesn't work like it should and food goes down "the wrong pipe," blocking the airway. This is choking.

There is a little flap that covers the wind pipe when humans are eating so that food doesn't go down it. It is called the epiglottis.

Food & Eating

Hot dogs can be cut into long slices, instead of circles; grapes can be cut into quarters

Sitting at a table is the safest way to eat.

DO NOT eat while laying down or moving around

DO cut foods into smaller peices.

The air moving through the trachea can interfere with eating.

DO NOT talk or laugh while chewing & swallowing.

Take time to enjoy your food and chew it slowly before swallowing.

DO chew the food, unlike this guy.

Now that you know how it works, how can you prevent choking?

Food & Eating

5. If you stop coughing and/or can't breathe, begin the self-heimlich manuever.

4. If you can't hear yourself cough, that means your trachea (windpipe) is blocked.

3. If you're coughing, that's good. Keep coughing! That means air is getting to your lungs and will hopefully create force to push the stuck object up and out.

2. Call 911 and put it on speaker. Even if you cannot talk, there is a thing called a silent 911 call. You could also text 911.

1. STAY CALM!

But...what happens if you DO start choking?

Food & Eating

....so always keep your communication device nearby!

Oh, that makes sense! Thanks!

You will not be able to run to a neighbor's house because you won't have enough oxygen....

You can call 911, the operator will figure out your location, and then you move to a door or window where the emergency crews can easily see you.

Hold on, Dr. Yance! If I am choking, how am I supposed to talk to the 911 operator?

Great question, Roderick! You can do what is called a silent 911 call.

So what do all these things have in common? They're small and can get stuck in the windpipe.

Preparing Food

Look at all of the icons and talk about some of the pros and cons of different ways to prepare food. Talk with your adult about which options are available at your house and which method(s) they would prefer you to use while you are home alone. If they don't want you to cook at all, that is okay too!
