Emergencies can happen anytime, so being prepared for one is important for you and your family. Having a properly stocked first aid kit in your home is an easy but necessary part of good emergency preparation.
Pick a good container
One good choice is a large translucent plastic container, which makes it easy to see the materials inside. Lunchboxes are also another good choice. Basically, if it's big enough, portable, and at least somewhat water resistant, it can make a good container. Regardless of your container choice, it should be easy to recognize, so write "FIRST AID" on it with a marker.
Make your kit safely accessible
When your child is crying about a "boo-boo" on her knee, you don't want your home kit buried on the back of a closet or lost because it's not being returned to the same spot after each use.
Teach your family about the kit
For younger children who shouldn't use the items in the kit, teach them where it's located, so they could show a visitor, relative or babysitter. For older children and adults, instruct them on how to use the items in it. Use a first aid instruction booklet, like those available from the American Red Cross for guidance and place a booklet in the kit for reference.
Keep your kit up-to-date
No one wants to fetch a first aid kit and find the bandage box empty or the pain relievers expired(过期). Keep track of supply amounts and expiration dates regularly.
Create a checklist in the kit
Record every item on a sheet of paper and keep it in the kit. Besides, record the amounts of the items and expiration dates next to the listed items on the checklist that you include in your kit. In this way, anyone who wants to reach the kit can immediately know what it includes and doesn't include. Also, they can be clear whether the items can be used.
How to Enjoy Life as a Teen
Maybe teens are not the best years of your life, but you should still learn to make the most of your high school days.
◆Learn to appreciate small things. Whether it's having a computer, having friends, having a family that loves you, or simply being born in this world, remember that the point of life is for you to enjoy it. Remember these are the last few years you are able to enjoy yourself without having to worry about the responsibility of an adult, but make sure you prepare yourself for when you actually become an adult,
◆Choose your friends wisely. Try to have friends that like you who you are, not just the things you have. These are people who shop at the same store as you;not someone who will sympathize with you when your dog dies.
◆Be sociable. Participating in clubs, activities, and sports increases your chances of meeting new friends. Participating gives you something to do instead of sitting bored at home and wallowing in self-pity.
◆ Video games, for example, are good if you're the type who can get into that kind of thing. You should also find a hobby that is meaningful or practical. Use your "hobby time" to start developing and uncovering passions.
◆Work at a job you can enjoy. Working is a great way to gain experience and to meet other people. Prior work experience will help you find a job more easily. If you can't find work, just volunteer or make your own job.
