  • Nutritionist Activity: Sort play food into categories (proteins, grains, fruits, vegetables) and plan a balanced meal
  • What to do if the doctor or dentist is busy: Sign in with the receptionist and wait patiently, or make an appointment to come back
  • What to do if you feel nervous about seeing the doctor or dentist: Practice deep breathing, tell your chaperone how you feel, and remember this is a safe simulation
  • What to do if you don’t understand the doctor’s instructions: Ask the doctor to repeat or explain: “Can you say that again?” or “I don’t understand”
