Even if kids can't administer professional first aid, they can help out an adult in an emergency - I did.
Kids can go get help, or shout, or summon help on a mobile phone, or with two blasts on their whistle.
Here are some books for the whole family I recommend

- In 384 pages this paperback is a standard for study and teaching children where appropriate. Published by Little, Brown. ISBN 0316736465.
The Basics of Camp Nursing by Linda Ebner and Myra Prayda
- This 192 page paperback published by the American Camping Association is a handy reference for giving practical help day-to-day. ISBN 0876031734.
