Children often get upset when they hurt themselves and look to parents or carers to make them feel better. This is a really useful rhyme that you can sing to them whenever a mild injury occurs. Kids love routine, so you will find that your little one soon focuses more on singing along and quickly forgets that they were ever hurt.
Pat it | (Take child’s sore hand in yours and gently pat it) |
Kiss it | (Kiss child’s hand) |
Stroke it | (Stroke child’s hand) |
Hug it | (Hug your child) |
Three days sunshine | (Using both hands, make a big circle with your arms to represent the sun) |
Three days rain | (Starting with hands above your head, twinkle fingers and move hands down to chest height to represent rain) |
Little hand | (Clap with your child with each word) |
All well again | (Clap with your child with each word) |
Tip: You can use this rhyme for just about any part of the body that a child may hurt. To do this, simply exchange ‘hand’ for the body part they are concerned about.
