The lesson
A bump or bruise happens when you knock part of your body, like banging your knee on a table. The skin may turn red, then purple or blue, and it can feel sore.
Tell a grown-up what happened. Then you can rest the sore spot and put something cold on it to help it feel better.
Always wrap the cold thing, like an ice pack or a bag of frozen peas, in a cloth or towel first. Never put ice straight on your skin, because that can hurt the skin.
With a grown-up, wrap an ice pack in a thin towel and hold it on your arm for a slow count of ten. Notice how the towel keeps it from feeling too cold.
If the bump is on your head, or it hurts a lot, or it does not get better, tell a grown-up right away so they can check it.
For a bump, tell a grown-up, rest it, and use something cold wrapped in a cloth.
