The Doctor’s Visit Parent and Teacher Guide

Tala is afraid of going to the Doctor for her vaccination shots. On the day that she has an appointment to visit the doctor she hides under the bed but Jad manages to convince her to go in his own special way.

At the clinic the doctor tries to distract her by drawing her attention to the balloon poster on the wall. While Tala is counting the balloons, the Doctor gives Tala the injection and she does not feel a thing. It is Jad’s turn after her, but he is also scared of injections.

Tala comforts him in the same way that the he had comforted her and laughingly advises him to count the balloons on the wall just like she did. This story uses humor to inform children about what they can expect from a visit to the doctor and eases any fear that they may have about going.
