4 year old hero
Nathaniel Dancy Jr
Lovely story, what a smart little guy! I love what he told his grandmother 
. I'm glad that his father is recovering well.
QUOTE A 5-year-old Newark, NJ boy became a hero after he used quick thinking and A-B-C skills to save his father's life last week.
The two were driving home from buying Nathaniel Dancy Jr. School shoes when Nathaniel Sr. Suffered an aneurysm and stroke, making him violently ill, according to a report by New York's NBC Channel 4 News. (NBC reported his name as Nathaniel Darcy, but Nathaniel Jr.'s school, the public North Star Academy Charter School, confirmed for Yahoo! Shine it was Dancy).
He was able to pull the car over, but then got out of the car, vomited, and became paralyzed by a seizure. That's when Nathaniel Jr., who is in kindergarten, sprang into action, grabbing his dad's phone and calling his grandmother.
"He said, "Come and help me and my daddy. We"re in trouble,"" Susan Hardy-Blackman told NBC New York. She asked him where they were, and, though her grandson was unable to read the sign on the store they were in front of, he spelled it for her: F-U-R-N-I-T-U-R-E. But she was still confused. And that prompted the young boy to be persistent well beyond his years.
"He said, "Grandma, use your active listening skills,"" she said. ""Listen to the words that are coming out of my mouth."" He gave her another clue, that they"d just gone through a tunnel, and Hardy-Blackman was able to go to them, where they were parked in front of a furniture store, and send an ambulance there, too.

I am glad that this little man was able to contact his grandmother and get the information she needed to send medical help to his dad. It does show that kids do understand some things we may not realize they learn. Never too early to educate your kids on life saving tips.
