This handbook discusses the most common childhood conditions that teachers, parents, and caregivers see in children between the ages of 4 and 10; describes signs and symptoms of over 30 common childhood health problems; provides practical strategies for getting children back to the well state once they are ill; and offers guidance as to when professional help should be sought. Following an introduction, the book is organized into six chapters:

- Bug Problems: Bites and Stings:
- Itchy Problems: Rashes and Sores (information about impetigo, ringworm, conjunctivitis, and mouth lesions);
- Catchy Problems: Common Communicable Diseases (chickenpox, fifth disease, the common cold, and influenza);
- Preventing Problems: Immunizable Diseases (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, and haemophilus influenza type B (HIB); and
- Less Common Problems: Chronic Diseases (arthritis, cancer, diabetes, epilepsy, heart conditions, and HIV/AIDS).

Four appendices provide:
- sample letters to parents about chickenpox, head lice, and influenza;
