To save a choking child, first assess the situation and encourage them to cough if they can. If they can't cough, cry, or breathe, perform the Heimlich maneuver: for a child over one year old, stand behind them, place your arms around their waist, make a fist with one hand, and place it just above their navel, thrusting inward and upward. For infants under one year, hold them face down on your forearm and deliver five back blows between the shoulder blades, followed by five chest thrusts. If the child remains unresponsive or the object is not expelled, seek emergency help immediately.
