We have used a brilliant new book tol help teach young children about first aid, why we do what we do when they get hurt and how to respond in an emergency. Its called "The Mini Adventures of Freddie" and was written by one of our parents who also runs first aid training in early years settings and for parents. We were lucky enough to host a session for our children based on this book and our children have learnt a lot from it. The link to find out about it and buy a copy is below http://minifirstaid.co.uk/1008-2/
