I Know My Body
I am good at noticing when my body feels like too much. Sometimes I breathe slowly to help myself stay calm. My family helps me go to the doctor so I stay healthy.

The Doctor's Office Is Today
Today my family is taking me to the doctor's office. Doctor visits can feel strange and hard to sit through. My body sometimes wants to leave before the visit is done.

It Is Okay to Feel That Way
It is okay if a doctor visit feels like a lot. My doctor knows that some visits can be hard to get through. Asking for a break is one way to help myself feel calm. When I breathe slowly, my body often starts to feel safer.

The Team Is Here to Help

I Ask for a Break
The doctor checks my ears and listens to my heart today. My family stays close by so I am not alone. I breathe slowly and tell the doctor I need a break. The doctor pauses and waits until I feel calm again.

I Did It
My visit is done, and I walk outside with my family. I asked for a break today, and the doctor helped me. Asking for help is something I am getting good at. Next time, I know I can ask for a break.
