Use the illustration, “At the Doctor’s Office” to prompt a class discussion. Display the image and allow several minutes for students to observe and share what they see. Throughout your discussion, model talking about children’s differences. For example, “You noticed that the little girl with brown skin is sneezing!” You can prompt conversation with the following questions:

1. Where do you think these children are?
2. Look at this child’s face and body. How do you think they are feeling? Have you ever felt that way? What made you feel like that? What helped you to feel better? What might help that child feel better?
3. Have you ever been to the doctor’s office? How did you feel when you were waiting to see the doctor? Who was with you to help?
