Do the Heimlich Maneuver (abdominal thrusts). The kid will 'spit' out the meat or whatever he/she's chocking on.

How can you tell if an adult is choking?
They should be showing the universal sign for choking (two hands around the neck). Sometimes they'll be coughing instead, and if they are coughing, let them. That means that air is still going in and out and their body will try to get it out itself. It's not until you can't hear them breathing/gasping anymore. Sometimes their face will turn blue also, so just be prepared to act just in case.
When someone is choking you should first ask?
You should ask them if they are choking. Encourage them to keep coughing - as long as they are able to cough, they are able to get some air and may be able to dispel the object without your help. If they are not able to cough, and if you know how to perform abdominal thrust maneuvers to try to dislodge the object, you should also ask them if you can help them before making any attempts.

What care should you give to a conscious child who is choking and coughing?
Assess the situation. You can gain two very important pieces of information from this history, mainly... * She is still concious * She is coughing, if you can hear coughs or any sort of sound, that mean the airway is still patent, even if only partially. Get her to bend over a chair and hit forcefully with an open palm of the hand between the shoulder bone. If this does not resolve after three strikes, call an ambulance.
