💬 What is an injury?
When you fall down or bump into something, you may get injured. When you are injured, it may hurt, turn red, or swell. Your body is telling you, “Be careful.”
🤔 When you fell down, where on your body has it hurt before?
💬 If you get injured, tell a grown-up
If you get injured, tell a grown-up right away. You can point with your finger and say, “It hurts here.” You do not have to hold it in. It is okay.
🤔 If you get injured, who should you tell?
💬 Clean small cuts and scrapes
Wash small cuts and scrapes with clean water. Try not to touch them with dirty hands. Ask a grown-up to put on a bandage.
💬 How to prevent injuries
