the force you use in CPR should not be too big that's why you keep the weaker hand on top as to not break ones chest , but also not too small as if enough force to push downwards about 2-4 cms .
One or 2 hands will be used for compressions on child CPR. If using 1 hand for CPR, it should be located on the breastbone in the middle of the chest; the other hand keeps the airway open. If using 2 hands for compressions, interlace them in the same manner as for adult CPR.

During CPR, you should depress the sternum of an adult at least 2 inches (5cm) and no more than 2.4 inches (6cm). This depth allows for proper blood flow during chest compressions to help circulate oxygen to vital organs. Always follow the guidelines provided in CPR training courses for proper technique.
