The steps for CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) for children are:

1. Check the scene: Make sure it is safe for you to approach the child in need of CPR. Look for any hazards, such as broken glass or power lines, and remove them if possible.
2. Check for responsiveness: Tap the child’s shoulder and shout, “Are you okay?” to see if they respond. If they do not respond, call for emergency medical services (EMS) immediately.
3. Open the airway: Tilt the child’s head back and lift their chin to open their airway.
4. Check for breathing: Look, listen, and feel for breathing by placing your ear over the child’s mouth and nose. If they are not breathing, proceed with CPR.
5. Begin chest compressions: For children aged 1-8, use one or two hands to compress the chest, about one-third the depth of the chest. For infants under 1 year old, use two fingers to compress the chest about one-third the depth of the chest. Give 30 compressions at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute.
6. Give rescue breaths: For children, give two breaths, each lasting about one second, while pinching their nose closed and tilting their head back. For infants, give two breaths while covering their mouth and nose with your mouth and nose.
7. Continue cycles of compressions and breaths: Continue the cycles of 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths until EMS arrives, an AED becomes available, or the child starts breathing on their own.

Remember, the key to successful CPR is to act quickly and confidently. If you are not trained in CPR, it’s important to seek proper training from a certified organization like the American Heart Association or the Red Cross.
