The doctor checks that my body is growing well. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.
1. I am going to see the doctor for a checkup. A checkup makes sure my body is growing and working well.
2. First we check in at a desk. Then we wait for my name. Then we go to a small room.
The office might smell clean, like soap. I might hear phones ringing and people talking.

3. A nurse measures how tall I am. I stand on a scale to see how much I weigh. This does not hurt.
The scale is a flat metal step. It might feel cool under my feet.

4. The doctor listens to my heart with a stethoscope. It might feel cold on my chest for a moment. The doctor looks in my ears and mouth with a little light.
The stethoscope is cold at first, then it warms up. The ear light does not hurt. It might tickle.

5. I have choices. I can ask to sit on the table or on a chair. I can ask the doctor to tell me each step before it happens.
6. I can practice with Spark. Spark will be the doctor.
7. When the doctor finishes, they say "All done!" I put my shoes back on. We go home. The checkup is over.
In the app, your child can choose what happens next, rehearse lines out loud with Spark, and try different endings — including hearing a kind "no" and being celebrated for respecting it. Parents can also create fully personalized stories.
