发现孩子不舒服，量脉搏，量体温：

---Are you OK?
---I'm not feeling well.
---What's wrong?
---My stomach hurts.
---Let me feel your pulse. Hm, it's a bit fast.
---Let me take your temperature.
---Oops. 38 degrees! You've got a fever.
---Let's go and see the doctor.
---No! I don't want to go to the hospital!
---But if you go, you'll get well faster.

劝孩子吃药：

---How are you feeling right now? Better?
---Not really.
---Here's some water.
And take this pill with the water.
---Yuck!
---Don't worry. I put sugar in the water.
Remember? A spoonful of sugar
helps the medicine go down!
---OK...... Well, it's not as bad as I thought.
---Told ya! Drink lots of water
and get plenty of rest,
and you'll be fine very soon.

稍微恢复点力气的孩子，立刻想要看电视。这时只能采用拖延战术了：

---Mom, I'm bored. Can I watch some TV?
---How about I read you a story?
---OK.
---Now can I watch some TV?
---How about we listen to some music?
---OK.
--- Now can I watch some TV?
---Are you feeling better?
---Yes!
---Great. Then you can read a book you like.
---......
