Читать книгу Koko Bear's Big Earache - Vicki Lansky - Страница 7

The nurse takes KoKo and MaMa Bear into the examining room to see Dr. Polar.

“Hello, KoKo,” says Dr. Polar. “I understand your ears are hurting you again. I need to use my otoscope—this special ear flashlight—to see inside your ears. Now let’s have a look. Do you think there are some butterflies hiding in there?”

“No. That’s silly,” says KoKo.

• Your attitude at a check-up will be reflected in your child. Be relaxed and positive. It is normal for a child to resent and resist ear checks because of the pain. Do not become upset with this behavior and thereby add to the unhappiness.

• Encourage your child to role-play the visit to the doctor. Most children’s medical kits include a toy otoscope.
