Injuries are when our bodies are hurt in some way.

They can happen while playing, riding a bike, or even during simple activities.

Knowing what to do if you get injured can help you feel better and heal faster.

First, if you get hurt, it is important to stay calm.

Taking deep breaths can help you feel less scared.

It’s normal to feel upset when you are hurt, but staying calm is the first step in figuring out what to do next.

Next, you should tell a grown-up what happened.

This could be a parent, teacher, or a trusted adult.

They can help you.

They might check the injury to see how serious it is and decide the best way to help.

Telling them exactly how the injury happened is important so they can understand what you need.

After that, the grown-up will clean the wound if it is a scrape or cut.

They will use water and a clean cloth to wash away dirt and germs.

This is important because keeping the injury clean helps prevent infections.

Once the wound is clean, the grown-up might use a bandage to cover it.

This protects the wound and helps it heal.

Finally, resting is very important.

When you let your body rest, it can focus on healing the injury.

Did you know?

Cleaning a wound properly is one of the best ways to avoid getting sick.

Always remember to ask for help from a grown-up if you get hurt!
