Читать книгу Koko Bear's Big Earache - Vicki Lansky - Страница 6

KoKo usually likes to visit Dr. Polar’s office. Dr. Polar has lots of books and toys, and best of all, a large aquarium with pretty fish and plants.

“Hi, KoKo,” says the nurse at the desk. “I’m sorry you have a problem, but I know Dr. Polar will be happy to see you.”

“What?” says KoKo. The nurse’s voice is hard to hear.

• Hearing loss clues to watch for: you must speak louder; your child uses the word “what” more frequently and also turns up the volume on a TV or tape recorder.

• Avoid promising your child that doctors and nurses will not cause discomfort. The mention of “no pain” may give a child concern where none existed before.
