The big ideaFor a little scrape, stay calm and tell a grown-up. They wash it and cover it.
How it works
For a little scrape, stay calm and tell a grown-up.
A grown-up washes it with clean water and covers it.
Telling a grown-up is a big step, because they know just how to help.
Four steps for a little scrape.
Example 1: Stay calm
Kit tumbles and gets a little scrape on his knee.
He breathes slowly, in and out.
Staying calm helps us think, and then we know what to do next.
Example 2: Tell a grown-up
Kit goes to his grown-up and says, 'I have a little scrape on my knee.'
His grown-up says, 'Thank you for telling me, Kit. Let's take care of it together.'
His shoulders drop, and he feels better already.
Example 3: Wash it and cover it
They wash the scrape with clean water. The water rinses away the dirt.
His grown-up pats the skin dry with a soft cloth.
Then a bandage covers the scrape and keeps it clean while it gets better.
