When I’m Sick

In What do I need when… children see a child who has a cold or a fever, or a sore throat, tummy ache, headache or earache, and choose things that will help, such as warm tea, medicine from the doctor or a cold compress. In Good or bad? they decide what is right when we are ill, such as sneezing into your elbow, blowing your nose into a tissue or staying in bed and drinking warm tea. In Doctor’s kit they choose what belongs in the doctor’s bag.

The activity helps children understand why rest, drinks and listening to the doctor matter when we are ill, and makes a visit to the doctor less scary.
