Reporting pain is hard when words are hard, and some kids do not localize pain the usual way. Pointing to a body part, choosing a face on a 0 to 5 scale, or picking a word like sharp or achy gives real information. Offer choices instead of open questions: does it hurt here, or here. You know your kid.
One tip from a dad who's been there
Practice the pain faces when nothing hurts, so the tool is familiar on a bad day. Keep a small body picture on the fridge that your child can point to. Choices beat the open question what is wrong, every time.
Common questions
What if my child won't look at the schedule or story?
That is common at first. Leave it where the moment happens, point to one picture at a time, and keep it low-pressure. Many kids warm up to it after a few calm tries, in their own time.
Can I make this in Spanish?
Yes. Every tool and this page exist in Spanish, and the printed page comes out in the language you choose. Use the language switch at the top.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no signup and nothing you type is stored. Make it, print it, done.
