Who is this social story for?
This story is helpful for children who feel unsure about body changes, especially autistic and neurodivergent children who benefit from clear explanations and predictable routines.
When can I use this social story?
You can read this story when your child first notices a loose tooth, before a tooth falls out, or afterwards for reassurance.
What does this story help with?
- understanding why baby teeth fall out
- reducing worry about blood, discomfort, or change
- knowing what to do when a tooth comes out
- building confidence around growing up
