Poop

When you munch, munch and eat your meal, the food goes from your mouth into your tummy. Inside your tummy, your body takes energy from the food. When you eat your meal, it gives you the power to run, play, and grow bigger.

🤔 What did you eat today? It is becoming energy for your body.

Inside your tummy, there are places that make food smaller. Your body takes the things it needs and turns them into energy. Then, when the things your body no longer needs come together, they become the beginning of poop.

Poop is a message from your body. Poop that is brown and shaped like a banana is often a sign that your body is doing well. If it is hard and difficult to come out, or if your tummy hurts, tell a grown-up. Poop is not something to be embarrassed about. It is important for your body.

🤔 When you feel like you need to poop, where do you go?

When you feel like you need to poop, go to the toilet. After it comes out, wipe clean and flush the toilet. Then wash your hands with soap. When poop comes out, your tummy and your feelings both feel better.

🤔 What is the promise after using the toilet? Let’s pretend to wash our hands together.
