Being a parent is a truly astounding experience but such a obligation comes with a great deal of stress as far as being continually engaged about another persons well being is concerned.
These stress levels are somewhat aggravated when you child is diagnosed with autism.
Kids will be kids and they just love to wander off. However, even if your child can communicate well, when you are not with them and they become stressed, you need to have a way to relay important information on their behalf.
Allowing your child to wear a toddler’s medical id bracelet or a kid’s medical bracelet will give you one less thing to concern yourself about at times like these.
You can have both sides of the bracelet engraved so there is plenty of room for all that essential information, when deciding what to have engraved onto the bracelet you should take the following into consideration:
Do you want your childs name on there. This is a personal decision and you need to think about how your child reacts to the use of his/her name. If it would make them overly trusting of a stranger then I would leave it out.
Your contact number
A secondary telephone number for occasions when it is needed
The telephone number of your family doctor
A brief description of your child’s condition
Information about the medication prescribed to your child
People who work in the emergency services are trained to be fully aware of the symbol which appears on kids medical bracelets. The bracelets come in a variety of designs and sizes and will fit all ages, but make sure you get one with the medical symbol clearly exposed so it can be seen and acted upon as and when necessary.
