Daycare teacher collapsed and stopped breathing as kids watched in shock — a 4-year-old's quick action brought her back to life
Children might know more than what we give them credit for. A 4-year-old girl proved that when she ran for help after her daycare teacher collapsed in the class, all of a sudden. She had never been in such a situation before and hadn't been taught about it, but she instinctively knew what to do to save her teacher's life. Her proud mom shared the entire story along with her daughter with WSMV 4 Nashville and people on the internet were shocked by what the young kid managed.
The paramedics explained that the girl might have saved her teacher's life with her quick action. Her mom encouraged her to come forth and tell the story. "I was at the door and the couple of teachers in there were like, she's a hero for the day and I am looking at them like, what happened." She shared that her daughter was always ready to help any of her classmates in need. "She has a really nurturing spirit about her, so it is shocking, but it's not," the girl, Kyndal Bradley's mom, remarked. Bradley was at the daycare with her classmates when her teacher collapsed because she was having a seizure. She was the only adult in the room at that time.
So, Bradley ran out and approached another teacher and told her that her teacher was sick. She immediately knew that something was wrong and she would have to get help. The mom, Taylor, had told her daughter about her phone number and their home address, but they hadn't talked about what to do when such an emergency arises yet. "I never talked about or introduced what to do if an emergency arises. So it was a shock to me that she knew exactly what to do in a situation like that." Paramedics arrived at the scene and realized that the teacher had stopped breathing twice and had to be rushed to the hospital. The woman is alive and well because of the little girl's courageous act.
"If she hadn't gone in and called for assistance, this story could have gone in a totally different way. So I am very proud of her," the mom pointed out. "They are little, but they may be our saviors. So they definitely need to know how to react." The teacher was recovering at home and Bradley had a sweet message for her. "Love you," the girl told her teacher on camera. People shared their thoughts on the little girl's life-saving action in the comments section of the video and expressed that she did a great job.

I hope they stay in each other's lives as this girl grows up." @sharonloomis5264 commented, "When my daughter was 2, I taught her how to dial 911 and talk to the dispatcher and answer questions. Called dispatch and asked if it was ok. Then gave the phone to my daughter and she called. Did this because it was just her and me. I was epileptic and she had an open bite and could not speak clearly. She gave the phone number and part of the address. Had to work on the street name. They called back and said, 'No problem.' Also thanked me." @Zeek509 remarked, "This speaks volumes about her parenting. Good job, mama and little princess."
