Ted goes to hospital (storybook only)
Follow Ted on his first trip to hospital
Ted goes to Hospital is the first book from Teach Ted. It follows our hero Ted as he gets ready for his operation. The simple story helps alleviate anxiety by familiarising your child with the hospital process, making the hospital journey a smoother process for both your child and you.
Children learn what to expect on their hospital visit and what to take with them. They see the routine admission tests they’ll experience, meet key members of their hospital team and see what it’s like inside the operating theatre.
Once they’ve completed the story, their book becomes their passport to hospital: including a certificate of readiness, fun photoframes to capture all the people they meet along the way and a checklist to make sure the adults cover everything off!
For parents a downloadable Advice for Parents guide provides more detailed information including common concern areas, when and how to explain things to your child and links to trusted sources.
“The power of reducing my patients’ stress before a surgery changes the surgical experience for everyone - parents, staff and the doctors. A wonderful initiative to make a life challenge less confronting and easier to navigate.”
“Ted goes to hospital was a really helpful social story when my 5 year old had his tonsils and adenoids removed… all the hospital staff commented on how relaxed and prepared he was… I highly recommend Teach Ted to everyone.”
