4-Year-Old Hero Saves Teacher from Choking at Tennessee Daycare

Little Emma Reynolds became the youngest certified lifesaver in her state when she performed the Heimlich maneuver on her choking teacher—a skill she learned from Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. The dramatic rescue unfolded when:

🍎 Teacher Sarah Kline gasped while eating an apple
👧 Emma shouted “I know what to do!” and applied perfect upward thrusts
🚑 Paramedics confirmed her actions prevented tragedy

“I practiced on my teddy bear,” beamed Emma, now honored with a mini EMT uniform by local firefighters. Her daycare is implementing first aid training for all preschoolers.
