Today, Alex is going to the doctor. He needs to get a special shot because he’s turning 10 years old. Alex feels a little scared, but his mom told him it’s important to see the doctor before he can start planning his birthday party.
When Alex arrives at the doctor’s office, he meets Dr. Vitamin. Alex says, “Hi, Dr. Vitamin! I’m here to get my shot because today’s my 10th birthday. I’m a little scared. Will it hurt?”
To feel better, Alex takes deep breaths and counts to ten. This helps him calm down.
Dr. Vitamin smiles and says, “Hi, Alex! Vaccines are really important to keep us healthy and prevent diseases. Please sit here on the examining table and hold out your arm so I can give you your shot.”
Alex sits on the table and holds out his arm. “There you go! That was fast, wasn’t it? Now you’re vaccinated. Have a wonderful day, Alex!” says Dr. Vitamin.
Alex feels relieved and says, “Thank you, doctor! You’ve been so nice. It hurt a little, but it was over so quickly I hardly noticed.”
We go to the hospital when we’re not feeling well. Doctors and nurses work there to help us get better. Hospitals are also places where doctors learn new things and do research to help more people.
If you want to keep learning with Alex or find new adventures, you can explore more fun activities and stories. Learning is always an exciting journey!
Role-Play a Doctor’s Visit: Pair up with a friend and take turns being the doctor and the patient. Use a toy stethoscope or make one from paper, and pretend to give a check-up. Ask questions like, “How are you feeling today?” or “What can I do to help you feel better?” This will help you understand what happens during a doctor’s visit and why it’s important.
Draw Your Own Doctor’s Office: Use crayons or colored pencils to draw a picture of what you think a doctor’s office looks like. Include things like a waiting room, an examining table, and maybe even a friendly doctor like Dr. Vitamin. Share your drawing with the class and explain what each part of your picture is for.
Healthy Habits Chart: Create a chart at home to track healthy habits like washing your hands, eating fruits and vegetables, and getting enough sleep. Each time you do one of these healthy activities, put a sticker or draw a smiley face on your chart. At the end of the week, see how many healthy choices you made!
