This book describes the activity of going to the doctor for a check-up using 12 simple clear pictures.

There is a visual of a clock used to show we have to wait in the waiting room. The waiting room can be difficult and I found it useful to bring the Going to the Doctor book with us to show the stage/picture we were at. Talk about the other people in the waiting room and that we have to sit for a while until the doctor is ready.

I also find it helpful to use the book as a tool to ‘play doctors’ at home and for your child to get used to the idea that the doctor will check their ears and listen to their chest.
