Leo Visits The Doctor For a Check-Up: A Story About Bravery, Body Awareness, and Feeling Prepared
Description
Going to the doctor can bring up all kinds of feelings for toddlers, preschoolers, and parents too. But stories like this can help, whether before a visit or while playing pretend at home. In this story, Leo the Lion heads in for a check-up. He’s a little nervous, but also curious. With his grown-up nearby, Leo gets to be part of the visit: asking questions, using the stethoscope, and even holding the otoscope.
This story helps toddlers and preschoolers picture what to expect at a check-up and reminds them that doctors are helpers too. And if your child loves pretend play, it’s just as fun to listen before lining up their stuffed animals for their own “check-up” at home.
This episode helps toddlers and preschoolers:
- Prepare emotionally for a routine doctor’s visit
- Learn simple language for medical tools and steps
- Feel confident participating in their own care
- Build resilience and bravery, even when things feel a little unsure
