A Dose of Love
In addition to a nutritious lunch, I love to include notes and jokes to my kids while they are at school. I’ve got a new set of jokes to share: doctor jokes! These doctor jokes are a fun way for me to say “I love you” to my kids while they are away, and they LOVE them!
Ideas for Jokes:
These doctor jokes are perfect because it can be a simple reminder for your kids to make healthy choices on their own. Here are some ideas on where to include your doctor jokes.
- By their toothbrush: help remind them to create good dental hygiene habits. Attach it to their toothbrush, toothbrush holder or maybe just the mirror.
- In their lunches: This one is my favorite. I love my children to feel loved and that I miss them during lunch.
- In the pantry: This can help them to remember to choose healthy food for after school snacks
- Give them on days of doctor or dentist appointments: Doctor and dentist appointments can be intimidating for kids. Make these days a little more light hearted by sending a joke about doctors to school.
