🧠 Food for Thought: Why Aren’t Parents CPR Certified?

Oregon requires all child care workers to be CPR and First Aid certified. Makes total sense—they're responsible for children's safety every day.

But here's our question:

Why aren’t parents required to be CPR certified, too?
Aren’t they around their kids even more—during meals, play and sleep?

Emergencies like choking, drowning, or allergic reactions happen most often at home. And when every second counts, would you know what to do?

💬 We’re not saying it should be mandatory (yet 😉), but what if CPR training was a normal part of parenting?

👉 Let’s start the conversation—and maybe even save a life.
