Leo Feels Unwell

The Calming Power of Captain P

Leo sat at his desk, feeling grumpy and tired. His head hurt, and his heart was beating super fast. 'I don't feel good,' Leo whispered, rubbing his temples. Something wasn't right, and Leo didn't know what to do.

The next day, Mom took Leo to see Dr. Beat. 'Your blood pressure is high, Leo,' Dr. Beat explained gently. 'That means your blood is pushing too hard against your blood vessels.' Dr. Beat showed Leo a picture of tiny tubes getting squeezed too tight. 'Even kids can have this problem sometimes when they feel stressed.'

Dr. Beat smiled and said, 'You need help from Captain P!' Suddenly, a glowing blue figure appeared beside Leo. 'I'm Captain P, commander of your Parasympathetic Nervous System,' he said with a kind smile. 'I can help your body relax and feel better again.'

Captain P taught Leo to take slow, deep breaths when he felt worried. 'Try yoga, drawing, or playing outside too,' Captain P suggested. Leo practiced every day, feeling calmer each time. Soon, Leo was sleeping better and teaching his friends Captain P's special tricks.
